Johnson 175 1999 spit and die on idle ?

[Jack from sweden]

Hi
I have a Johnson 175 1999, J175PLEES, and it starts just fine but after 6-10 sec it starts to "spit" and after 10-20 sec after that it just die?s.

If i turn on the manuel prime half ways it runs good so it seem?s like it not get any fuel.

I have change the fuelfilter and even the sparkpluggs and have new fuel in the tank.

If i get it running an take of and run it over 2500 it runs well all the way up to max.

The problems are just on idle.

Anyone knows what i can do or testing ?

Jack

The "spit" is caused by running to lean in one or both carbs. Chances are good that the carbs need a cleaning (especially in the low speed flow circuit) and re-build kits.
