"I have a 2000 115hp Johnson Outboard. I am having idling problem..Cold cranking is not an issue. Its cranks right up and runs great as long as I dont kill the motor.. Here's is where my headache begins..when I goes to restart motors it won't stay running and I have to jump starts it to get it running again..cut off the motor and start it up again and the same problem..I have changed the bulb,redid the carb and also adjust the idling. I am STUMP!! Does anyone have the same problem and how do I fix this??? thanks in advance"

Well I think I have isolated my idling problem..Spent three hour on the water with a mechanic..It seems like my right side carbs (V4) is not working. after the motors warms up only my left side is taking all the loads..thus stalling out and cant seem to keep up the idle.
 
"i would suspect clogged idle

"i would suspect clogged idle circuits ,or idle jets....back to rebuilding carbs as posted earlier.."
