Long time since last post. Ended up cleaning carb, no luck. Found the issue to be one of the plug wires. Replaced plug wire. Took the gheenoe out to test the motor, ran great for about 20 seconds, then then motor bumped up, rev'd really high and then shut off, could not get the motor to ...

Is there a different chemtool I should be using rather than the fuel treatment?

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues
I'm not sure about the hub. Works fine at idle speed in forward and reverse. Just seems like I'm not getting enough power when I give it gas. Not turning anywhere near the rpms. the "knocking" sound in neutral is a loud bang every 10-15 sec, and is another unknown issue.

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues
Exhaust is fine. Runs the same with / without cowling. Also plenty of water spitting out.

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues
PA, thanks for the reply. I went out and bought some chemtool, all I could find is the chemtool fuel treatment. Tried it and still no luck. Also there is a "knocking" noise every once in awhile,but only in neutral. I am running non ethanol gas with sea foam treatment.
