SOURCE: Johnson Outboard Motor 175HP

Not knowing what year it is...Light and alarm? Reason: overheat low oil etc. check water flow..water pump. The motor is most likily going into S.L.O.W mode. its a fail safe system. Last possibile reason ..CDI box and or stator.. pull plugs check compression...should be 120-150 lbs.

Carbs probably need to be cleaned and re-built. Common problem in outboards that havent been run in a while

SOURCE: 1974 Johnson 70 hp outboard, quits on acceleration.

It sounds like your motor is starving for fuel. At an idle, you have adequate flow to keep the engine running. When you call for more fuel...you sputter and quit. Could be a clogged filter or trash in the line or in a jet. Yes you will have some air in the bulb, but not a great deal. You could be sucking air at a hose connection (loosing some prime)...try this, start the engine and slowly accererate, have someone pump the bulb as you accelerate, see if the engine works properly while doing this test.

1984 Johnson 50 horse outboard runs great for an hour or two then will not run to make it back to the dock ???

Service the carburetor. Check cooling system. it may clogged. Run it in a tub and monitor heat buildup. When it stops running, do you have ignition spark? If no then the ignition coil maybe shorted when hot or it may have moved due to untightened screws.
