This motor(115 hp) runs great once the throttle is opened. Pushes my 17.5ft bass boat at about 54mph. However, it does not want to idle. It will idle out of the water with just water clamps on the motor. Any ideas? Got to get this fixed before spring tournament season begins.

Re: 2005 Johnson Bombardier will not idle

Normally idle quality is influenced by carb idle mixture. Also the carb idle passages can get dirty/clogged.
