I have a 99 model Johnson 90hp V4. After the engine warms up you can hear a ticking sound. The ticking speed increases with engine rpm. It was more noticeable yesterday than it has been. When pulling the kids on the tube this summer it got where it wouldn't get up on plane. Reading about similar issues I'm inclined to believe its one side of the fuel pump going out. I would be glad to hear any other ideas though too
