How to adjust idle on 1992 40HP Johnson (sort of long)
Hello again wise ones...I'm pretty new to the boating world and this is just my second post to the forum. I haven't got a factory manual (yet) and am a little bit unfamiliar with my motor too at this early stage.Problem: engine sometimes won't idle without quitting after a short time - even when I have been running and the motor is warmed up. Engine also stalls frequently when shifting into gear. Otherwise, engine runs strong and smooth throughout the RPM range. I suspect that the idle is too low. Any other suggestions?If this is the case, what do I need to look for on this motor to adjust the idle. It's a 1992 40HP Johnson. Is there an adjustment on the carb or on the linkage on the starboard side? Sorry if this is a newbie question from a guy who should get the manual - I'll be getting one soon, but could use some advice in the meantime!Boat was given to me by my Dad because he just hasn't used it enough in recent years - maybe once a year for the last 3 or 4 years! Is a carb cleaning in order? Is there something I could spray or run through the fuel so I do not have to dissasemble the carb? Seafoam? thanks in advance,DobberHigh Springs, FL1992 Tracker deep V
