Recently purchased a Sea Nymph boat with '92 johnson 40 hp. The boat has been sitting for about 10 years, after some scrubbing and flushing I finally got the motor running, just need some help on how to adjust the idle. It will only start when you have the throttle half open, will not start in neutral also the tilt/trim UP button on the throttle won't work, but it will work on the motor. Had the boat on the lake this morning and it runs fine once you get going just wont start in neutral. Where are the idle screws on the carbs? Help.

Thanks for your help, after some more research found out that you have to have the throttle half open in order for it to start. The tilt/trim switch was bad so I replaced it. Thanks again
