"Maybe in a couple days, you'll get a straight answer ................................................................................... Nah! " I'm beginning to think he's right. F14, The motor cranks over fine, it just won't start. Were you thinking about some type of compression issue? Tommy
Did you really expect anything else?
Anyways how about vaporlock? Check to see if it getting fuel when it is hot.

Are you getting spark when hot? If not, you may have a coil or wire that fails when it gets hot. Also the head is prone to warping when over heated. Just my $.02

I've been looking for something that was a direct result of that overheat,not really thinking about a new problem with a wire or coil. It will be another week till I see that motor,but at least I have something to look for! I'll let you know what happens.Although next time I might just call it an "Evinrude".... Tommy

So after the johnson sit for an hour it works just fine again? Does it run longer the second time it's used?

I was thinking a problem with the coil or a wire as a result of the overheating. Have seen the insulation on a wire get melted and short. As the parts cool down the insulation would firm up enough to remove the shorted condition. I have had this happen in a similar condition to yours. Remember the engine will get warmer after your shut it down ( no water circulating) before it begins to cool. Good luck with the Jrude.
