Good Morning George,
First Thing To Do Is Use Pre Mixed Fuel Until This Problem Is Solved Or Engine Damage Could Be The Result.
Pre Mix Fuel -Oil Ratio Is 50:1
Have You Tried Priming The Oil With The Primer On The Oil Tank Supply Line?
Is The Oil Tank In The Boat Low On Oil?
Let Me Know If You Have Any Luck!
Cheers
Gordon

SOURCE: johnson 4 stroke 115 hp will not start. fuel

Sounds like and injector problem to me. If it was a 2 stroke I'd tell you to pull the carbs and clean them ,but EFI is a whole different story. Most certaintly a fuel problem, most likely injector related, you'll most likely need to go see a marine mechanic with the proper equipment to analyze, rather than start replacing parts you may not need.

SOURCE: 35hp Johnson evinrude outboard not running at full potential

Hi, did you buy your engine used? Sounds like your gonna have to get the carb or carbs cleaned. Its possible you could have a stopped up fuel filter, or not enough spark but i am guessing its gonna be the carbs. They got some gunk in em i bet. Probably old fuel turned to gunk from setting up. I had the same problem on my 40 horse.

Testimonial: "Hi, thank you very much for your help, I will strip the carb down and have a look. Once again, many thanks, I am very greatful"

SOURCE: in the control box of an evinrude 115 vro v4

The warning horn on a V.R.O. system ( variable ratio oilier) warns you of three problems. (1) LOW OIL. means the remote oil tank in the boat is near empty or empty(2) NO OIL. means there is no oil getting to the V.R.O. .problem is, clogged line or the diaphragm in the V.R.O is blown.(3) OVERHEAT. means the engine is overheating. The V.R.O is you lift and pressure pump for fuel and oil. plus it mixes the oil and gas to proper ratio. Three warning, three senders. LOW OIL sender is in the remote oil tank in your boat. NO OIL sender is in the V.R.O.. and the OVERHEAT sender is on one or both cylinder heads of a the engine depending on the year model

Yamaha 115 4 stroke alarm sounds when boat is in neutral. forward or reverse no alarm. oil is good and water out of the spout.

Which alarm is sounding? Oil or overheating? You need to figure this out first! ... Is the water coming out of the spout high pressure or can you hold your finger over it and stop the flow? If you can stop the flow, you have a bad water pump impeller. If not... you are probably getting good water pressure. If your oil tank is full, the low level sensor is dirty or bad..this will cause the alarm..Fix each of these and repost.

Johnson 115

find the bottom carb , see where the linkage from the remote cable moves the lever on the side of the engine then disconnect the cable from the remotes ! on the bottom carb there should be a screw to adjust the tickover where the linkage meets the carb linkage , turn it in 2 turns then with water attatched to water intake on gearbox turned on start the engine , it mite be slightly high or low pending ! set at 900rpm , rev engine several times back to tickover and if ok then refit throttle cable , cable should be pushing lever against its stop and then when you select forward gear it shouldnt move till you throttle up ! when in water start engine and select forward gear and tickover should be 7 to 800rpm and idle ok if not adjust till ok !
