Hi everyone.......I have a 2000 150 HP Johnson/Mdl J150PLSSC. I had to remove the flywheel to replace the stator. In order to do that the top end covers come off and I had to losen and disconnect throttle linkage at the top where it appears the Idle Speed and Cold Start advance is all adjusted. The linkage has 2 screws that hold 2 differnt settings on the Throttle and advance settings. Can you tell me what the baseline adjustments should be so that I can get those linkages adjusted correctly, please? There is also a ratchet type adjustment for High and Low Idle speed I assume, and not sure how to reset these to a baseline to restart the motor.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Mark, You might pick up a service manual. The procedure is a bit complex, and you will want the step-by-step instructions with pictures.
