Working on a 1995 Johnson 50 hp. VRO working - New carb kits in both carbs. I have the linkage adjustment instructions and have followed them. here's my problem: To start and idle the engine I have to use the bypass lever. But it will idle and idle and idle . To engage the prop it has to be a quick motion of drop the bypass level and engage the prop and then she goes. IF it will idle with the bypass I should be able to find an idle without the bypass in my opinion. What am I doing wrong? I see the bypass advance the linkages, but the engine starts and idles before the throttle plates open- as long as I use the bypass' advance. I'm at 5300 ft elevation is that it? At a loss otherwise.
