Hey, I recently just brought a boat with a Johnson 120 VRO 88 and at on the second outing it doesn’t start or idle well. It has plenty of crank from 2 batteries and it took approximately 7 times of turning it over once or twice using key choke and then getting the idle lever going. When it does start it blows a load of white smoke and once it gets going it’s fine (although I was surprised at how much fuel we got through)
After a 20min run in the ocean at 3/4 throttle I brought her back to idle to berth and she kept stalling.
I managed to find the primer solenoid which was clicking when I press the primer key in, so presume the choke is not getting stuck on?
I am wondering how to alter the idle? Theres a couple of screws somewhere which I need to adjust? I cannot seem to locate them.
Which part adjusts the fuel, I have a feeling it is running too rich, which could be why it is stalling.Thanks I’m advance Cheers Ricky
