2000 Johnson J200vxsss idle speed

[Parker25]

I just picked up a 2000 Johnson J200vxsss 2 stroke. It runs rough at idle running on garden hose in yard. Stalls at 800 rpm. Starts right back up. Does anyone know proper idle speed setting?

I would first test compression.---Post your numbers.-------And do a spark test on all leads.----It is possible that the shift interrupt switch is stuck and the motor is running on 3 cylinders.----Sorry----I am not there to check it out.---Some simple testing is to be done.
