Yeah I agree with this assessment, I had a Johnson 135 with very similar
symptoms, I tried to adjust if for hours. It would idle, or a little
more, but that was it. I took it to a shop, they cleaned up the carb
and it ran perfectly for years afterwards.



That... a good carb clean and I'd add looking at the rest of the fuel path.
I don't know if those little flapper things are on engines as big as 115 but
if they are gummed up, they'll play hell with things.
