Johnson 90 down to 3 cyls under 2000 RPM

Hello All,

I am hoping someone can help with a problem I am having with my 1995 60deg V Johnson 90 HP outboard. The motor is dropping back to three cylinders when running under 2000 RPM. I have pulled the plug leads to identify the cylinder and it appears to be the top right one (looking from the back of the motor).

I have done the following:

Compression check: around 910 kPa on all cylinders.

Replaced plugs: No Change

Measured lead resistance: around 600 ohms per lead.

Adjusted air bleed screw on affected cylinder: No Change

When I pulled the leads to identify the missing pot, I had spark jumping from the plug lead to the plug so I suspect it is not a spark problem. This leads me to think it maybe a blocked carby jet but I have never pulled them off so not sure how big a job this is. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be or the difficulty of pulling of the carby an cleaning the jets would be greatly appreciated ..

Thanks JR

The hand trick didnt work but the carby was easy to get off. It was a blocked jet and now running like a dream.

Prolly a clogged slow jet on the affected cyl/carb. Try hand choking the JR
