I would first look at the accelerator pump in the carburettor. The accelerator pump puts a short burst of raw gas into the air stream. This gives an enriched air flow into the engine causing acceleration.

To check the accelerator pump:

With the engine off remove the air filter and hold the choke valve open (if it is closed). Then move the accelerator linkage to open the throttle valve and you should be able to see a spray of raw gas into the venturi. If there is no spray then you need to make sure the linkage is working correctly. If the linkage is pushing the accelerator pump down and there is no spray you may consider replacing the accelerator pump.

Why does a gun barrel rise?

The barrel is usually above the centerline of the gun. When fired, recoil pushes straight back from the line of the barrel, but that is offset above the centerline, and causes the gun to pivot.

Why should you ignite the gas from the side rather than above the barrel?

The concentration of oxygen is more above the barrel than towards the side. So when it is ignited from the top, the flame will catch on quickly and might injure the person who is lighting it.


How can i run my Johnson 28SPL outboard motor without it being in the water safely it is a 1991 but does not have the usual water filteres on each side so the earmuff type doesn't work?

I use a 30 gallon plastic drum and a sawhorse. If it's mounted on your transom, you can use a plastic barrel... put the barrel on a high spot (like your porch) with the lower end of the engine in it, fill with water to the correct level, (above the cavitation plate) and be careful about running it in gear (Prop can hit the barrel, and thrust can move the barrel).
