I have a 2000 Johnson 115hp on a 691 ranger and had it out

 

Customer Question

I have a 2000 Johnson 115hp on a 691 ranger and had it out today for the first time (yes the gas is fresh) it ran great all morning then later in the day started to run ruff under full power. Felt like it was maybe starving for fuel and cutting out a little. This is a new boat to me so I don't know the history. Any suggestions on what to check first?

First check for spark on all cylinders it could not have spark or the spark plugs could have fouled, when you check spark pull the plugs also and look at them


If your getting spark then it could be a fueling issue

Post the full model number so we can post pictures on what to check

Check for spark first and change the plugs if they are black and oily

Next try pumping the primer bulb when it starts to cut out, if it picks up the fuel pump is bad and or their is air leaks in the fuel system
