Trouble Diagnosing Outboard Motor Issue (Video linked)
Hi,
Looking for any and all ideas as to what may be wrong with my motor.
I have a 1995 Johnson 70 hp, 3 cyl, 2-stroke outboard motor. The motor currently starts and idles fine. I can give it a little throttle and get the boat moving at low speeds. The problem is when I go to give it full throttle. When I do, the motor almost seems like it is limiting out (see video linked below on YouTube). I am only able to go 1/3 of my max speed at full throttle.
Is this an electrical issue like coil packs or stator? Or does this seem to be something like a clogged intake fuel jet? Any ideas on where I should start would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
