First of all, I'm not familiar with boat motors. I bought a Johnson 10hp with a pressurized tank a few weeks ago for my 12' v bottom aluminum boat. Me and my cousin took it out a few days later and ran it. We couldn't get the motor to idle. When we finally got it started we put it in gear and went. We didn't dare back off on the throttle because we didn't want it to stall. I'm wondering why it won't idle low. Does it have to do with the rich/lean mixture dials on the front of the motor? Also the last time I tried to take it out, I pulled the the rope out of the recoil. Is that something that's hard to fix?
