History on the motor ?-----Did this develop suddenly ?----Getting worse over time ?----Any trouble shooting done at all.---Water in the fuel ?

Just bought the boat it’s been sitting for five years it’s a 1994 Johnson 120 v4 model J120TLAND. It’s been doing it since I got it sounds like a miss Adjusted the throttle screw know it idols a little better still high I think anyways I’m just looking to see what service manual I need to adjust all of thisNow that I got the auto OK I know it’s not set to the specs but it idles when I put it in neutral Instead of cutting out and dying been watching YouTube There’s no water in the fuel
videos and I tested the coils and according to them I’m within specs at .247With all of themThere’s no water in the fuel. In my opinion I think it’s the spark advance adjustment and also carburetor adjustment I have ordered a carburetor rebuild kit from Amazon waiting on that and now the manual I need Just to get everything back up to SpecOh and this model has the little solenoid pump for the fuel and the arrow is pointing down

You are mistaken.-------That is a SOLENOID VALVE and it is not a pump.
