I have a 1995 Johnson 48 SPL that when it wants it runs very well and it seems like every other time I take it will not run correctly over 3000 RPM. The issue is very intermittent as in last Tuesday I took it out on a lake to test everything before taking it in the ocean. Ran like a top. Got it out on the ocean Saturday and it immediately cuts out and comes right back over and over after 3000 RPM. Below 3000 RPM it ran normally and WOT made it even worse. This has been a 2 1/2 year issue so I have replaced the fuel tanks, fuel pump, had the carbs rebuilt, new thermostat, new fuel line, always treated fresh gas, good quality oil, new spark plug, new starter, checked the charging system it works well and also put a new coil pack in it. I do not want to continue throwing parts at it so I was looking to see if anyone had the same issue and found it to be something other than what I already checked and replaced. I am going to test the temp sensor and look at taking out the poppit valve to see if those are causing it. I am just pulling my hair out because 95
% of last year it ran well and here we go again this year. I swear if I find it I will post it everywhere as I have seen many on the forum having similar issues and aren't getting any farther than I am. Thank you and all appreciation for reading my novel. Good boating and tight lines!!!! PS I have read everything there is in my Clymer Johnson repair troubleshooting manual to no avail and also had it at a marine mechanic who had it a year and did the carbs and told me the problem was fixed after quite a bit of coin.
