[QUOTE="rktman, post: 411416, member: 11818"] I inquired in another post about a possible fuel pump issue but I'm starting to think my 3 cyl Johnson 35 hp is having electrical issues. I took it out last weekend and it ran fine for a 20-30 minute run. I stopped for a while to fish and then tried to take off. It sputtered and died like it was fuel issue. I pumped the fuel bulb and it started and ran for 30 sec and died again. It repeated this for 5-6 times. I took the case off and checked for fuel in the filter, loose connections, etc. I started it and it ran long enough to get me to camp. The next morning it started and ran fine for 20 minutes back to the boat dock. So, this weekend I did the same thing. Ran for 15 minutes up river, stopped to fish, ran 10 minutes down and it sputtered and died as before. Then it was the repeated Start, run for 30 sec, die. Sorry for the long post but does this sound like a powerpack issue? [/QUOTE]
