    1999 Johnson 225 H.O. Idle works now!

    Rusty....Witchdoctor........thanks for the help! Did like you said.....just turned the needle screw out 1 turn on all carbs.......fired it up and it never quit! I only had it on the trailer backed into the water......but I did bring the motor up to temp. and it kept idling.

    Just wanted to check with you guys on a couple of things........just what does this do to the motor, turning the needle screw out 1 turn? make it run a little more rich at slow speed??

    Also, do you suggest any further "tinkering"? Or just...... LEAVE IT ALONE.

    Thanks again guys.............you saved me considerable "down" time at the shop during prime tournament season:thumbup:

    The idle mixture was to lean.

    Glad we could help.
