I have worked on alot of engines but never an outboard 2 cycle, so here goes:
1) The engine is a 1973 Johnson 25 hp, and it idles fine, but from 1/2 throttle to 3/4 throttle it sounds like its running on 1 cylinder and then goes to 2 firing cylinders, and cycles between the two. Just bought it and previous owner says he changed the ignition points, but not sure if he installed them correct. Where are the points, in the distributor?
2) At full throttle it runs fine (and on 2 cylinders) for about 15 seconds and then starts to lose some of its power, but continues to go on two cylinders. Its rubber suction ball style gas tank with no fuel pump, and I wondered if the engine gets starved for gas at full throttle? The gas line is 5/16" I.D., so I figured it was fine but I may be wrong.
