New to this forum.<br /><br />My 2001 Johnson 70 hp is running sluggish. Here are the symptoms.... Doesn't like to idle or go forward at slow speeds. Motor goes dead. Does well when I give it some RPM's either at idle or faster speeds. I put new spark plugs in the engine but not sure what gap they are suppose to be. Anyone know? What else could it be? I've used gas treatment and I always make sure it's primed well prior to use. It's a great engine just needs to be tweaked.<br /><br />Any input appreciated.<br /><br />Jay - Virginia
