    2000 Johnson 225 stalling issue

    I have a 2000 Johnson 225 J225HGLSSC that will start right up cold, will run great to the first fishing spot, but after fishing for a while it will start but when I attempt to get it up on plane or even give it a little gas it will stutter and stall. If I push in on the key it will catch and then run fine again. Happens just about every time. Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Thanks.

    Turn your idle jets out 1/2-1 turn out. Should help

    The circled one in the pic? If that's the correct one they're all tight and when I loosen them 1/2 turn they seem pretty loose like they won't stay only a 1/2 turn out.

    If I remember correctly its a 3/32 allen, they did not use metric screws or torques back then.

    I tried every small allen I had both metric and standard and none of them worked, only thing I was able to get to work was a T9 torx, not saying you're wrong, just that's what worked for me. Thanks for your advise. :)

    Well I bought a set of Pentalobe screwdrivers, the largest size I can find via a Google search is a 6PL and it is too small. I would like to have the correct tool for adjusting these idle screws. ChampioNman can you tell me the correct size tool that i need for this task?
    Thanks!
