[QUOTE="djchris, post: 242560, member: 1458"] I have a 1989 johnson 25hp model TJ25ELCEB. I have a really hard time getting it started.....once started it runs smooth at idle and up till the last time i used it it ran pretty good threw all rpm ranges.....Once warm it would start right back up USUALLY with out choking.....sometimes i would have to choke it and it would run rough for a few seconds than smooth out......now the last time i had it out last year after already warm it was a PITA to get started and when i would give it some throttle it would die.....I figured out by holding the choke it would run smooth and seemed to run just fine till i got to the dock to load up...... Now i have alot of mechanical ability as i am a automotive mechanic and it seems to be a fuel/carb problem......my question is how hard is it to remove clean/rebuild carb with NO prior outboard repair experience????? Is this something i should be able to do on my own or would you guys recommend i just take it in and have a professional work on it? Any info would be appreciated and thank you in advance [/QUOTE]
