Hi all just got the mariner back from the shop, and now it want turn off, is there somthing i can do to fix this, and would it be ok to use the choke to cut the motor promised to take some peaple out on the brissy river tomorow thanks all

(dont know why its all underlined but looks good ) cheers all

kill switch, or disconnect the fuel line. But Id be taking it straight back to the workshop though!

Just check under the cowl for disconnected wiring.
If I remember yours is a side consul so the kill on the motor should still work. If not look at the two wires coming out of the kill swith and trace them through and see if one has been accidentally disconnected.
What model is it and we might be able to get wire colours etc to help??
Good luck

Used to hot wire my old johnson to get it started by arcing across a couple of bolts when it came time to turn it off all i did was choke it out never had any probs.

As a short term fix to fulfill your promise choking it to stop it wont hurt it at all.

Pull The Black Stop Rubber Off And There Is A Brass Clip That Goes Inside It . They Have A Tendensy To Come Loose , So Youpush It Back In And Be Careful Putting It Back On As It Can Come Out If You Force It Too Much ........ Chears And Beers

My Johnson wouldnt stop one day, I took the fuel line off to kill it than took the cover off to discover that a wire had come off...
