ok any help someone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have a 20hp johnson that i believe is a 1968 FD-20c. It was not running when i first got it. I have it running now and have even taken it out on the lake but it will not idle and i do not feel like I am getting to max RPMs on it. When I go to start it i have to go to full throttle or it wont start. when i start to throttle down it dies on me. If i throttle down really fast to go into gear and go right back to full throttle it works and runs. when i first got it the Nut that goes to the lean rough knob had been broken off so i got a new one and fixed that and recounted it to the valve needle (slow speed). The packing is also goon on the valve needle and i am hopping to fix that by the end of the week but i do not think thats way its not idling. If anyone knows what i need to do or can offer any help on this i would really appreciated it.
