I recently purchased a pontoon boat with a 1988 Johnson 75 HP engine. The engine will crank (though it take a bit everytime I kill it) and once it starts, I have to adjust the idle near the throttle IOT to keep if from dying, Once I get underway, I have no problems with the engine only when I go to idle, then after about 10 seconds it will die. It is really fun trying to trailer the boat with it keep dying.
Issue:
1.Will not hold an idle for more than 10 seconds
2. Takes about 5-7 seconds to start each time (is this normal?)
Any help would be appreciated.
