Sir I hope you see this comment. I have a 1984 johnson 70hp. I was having the same issue. I came across your video tinkered with my motor and it fixed my stalling issue. Thank you sooo much! Wanted you to know.
I want to thank you very much I have the same motor 1981 Johnson seven hours I spent a lot of money replacing parts still no results it took you two minutes to let me know what my problem was thank you so much
I can assure you that shifting is not a problem. Since the gear box has no syncro to engage the gears, shifting must be firm and fast. In the water, the idle will be between 1000 and 1500 RPM. That is 2000 to 2500 out of the water with the boot.
yes, that fooled me for years. In my opinion it is not a preferred way to set the idle because it moves the carb linkage. Idle should only be adjusted by moving the timing of cylinder one before top dead center ignition. The most important thing is to not let the throttle move the carb linkage before about 2500 RPM or the engine will flood and stall.
ya my 76 70 evinrude does just that oh and my throttle linkage is the otherway yours looks like its upside down my service manual shows it straight across the one going to the cam and the manual says to have it at a length of 4 31/32 but mines a 76
That information is very helpful. It runs best out of the water at 2000-2500 with boot which will change to 1000 rpm when put into the water. Higher rpms keeps the engine hot enough to ignite the gas oil mixture. Water temp should be at least 200 f.
You are a life saver. I have been going crazy. Thank you now I can set the idle in my boat.
Very informative , This may help me get my nextdoor neighbors motor running again . Thank You !!!
Thank you so much ive been setting it wrong this whole year trying to figure it out
