    Wanted..an alternative fast idle device

    I have just finished restoring a 44 year old classic speedboat (see more on boat below) and need an alternative fast idle device for my 21 year old Johnson 40 hp two stroke.

    how do I disable oil warning buzzer?

    I have a 1989 Johnson BJ4 oelcec 40 hp motor. For various reasons I want to run the motor with the autolube removed and just relying on oil/petrol mix fuel.

    plug gaps

    Crunch on going astern

    Two problems which may be connected. Purchased a 5.4 RIB complete with 3 year old Mercury F90 ELPT 90 hp 4 stroke last week and took out on Sunday. Everything fine but noticed a lot of slop and vagueness in throttle handle. Managed to ding (Not to badly but still red with embarrassment) the prop...
