Location: Albertville, Minnesota | Hey guys, having problems when first starting my 115 Johnson 4-stroke. Started last July up at LOTW and continued up to now. It doesn't fire right away, but once it does, no issues the rest of the day. Starts right up and runs awesome, as it always has. But once I let it rest overnight or longer, it has the starting issues. Sometimes the only way to get it going is keep grinding the starter until it fires. I had oil changed, spark plugs changed out, fuel filter changed, changed the female fuel line adapter and now just replaced the fuel line and ball float. I prime it, watch fuel fill the filter, and then the gas level drops to a certain point. Am I losing fuel pressure? Idle throttle set to low? Any ideas? Also, and probably a dumb question, but can you flood a 4-stroke? Reason I ask this is because it backfired on me last weekend when I was trying to start in the driveway.
Thanks
Chris
