Johnson 25 Idle Adjustment Help

[Jcqsrbrts]

I’ve got a new to me 92 Johnson 2cyl 2 stroke (J25TEEND). The previous owner has the kill switch disconnected and uses the tiller handle to kill the motor. At about 1/4-1/2 twist of the tiller is when it seems to idle and if you go below it will stall. Does anyone know what adjustments I can make to have it so where no throttle is idle? Thanks!

Is the motor in good condition to idle properly, yes , no or not sure ?-----What trouble shooting have you done ?

Motor runs great and idles perfectly at 1/4 throttle. this really isn’t an issue. My first thought was adjust the carb idle screw but I’m thinking it has more to do with the cable adjustment. The only reason I’m trying to mess with it is because the wife struggles with killing the motor when she drives and wanted to make it so where it idles when the tiller is 0 throttle. I assumed that’s how tiller handles normally operate but if having the tiller at no throttle is normal for the motor to die then that’s fine.
