    my 1982 Johnson 90 hp v4 cannot idle more than 5 minutes even in water at boat ramp? I didn't have this problem last season. In the beginning of this season, I tore down my 2 carburetors (4 throats) and put them back and not sure whether I did the linkage correctly or not. I tried to spray...

    my Johnson 90 idling RPM? on hose and in water??

    Thx. i just removed and cleaned the jet hole and the idle mixture screw. It would only stay running for 5 seconds before that. Now it can idle at around 1500. I will try slowing it down to 1000 after work today and see what happens. does it matter my bucket’s water is warm. It was sitting...

    My is my Honda 8 hp outboard idling at 1,500 RPM

    Oh boy, so will check again after work. 900 is in the river i assume? My water bucket’s water was warm because it sat outside all day. Not sure if that makes a difference?
