    96 Johnson 48 Carb Settings

    What are the idle settings on a 96 Johnson 48? Also what is the proper idle RPM? Just bought the boat and it has been sitting for a couple years. Seems to run pretty good except for the fact that it does not like to idle. Any other ideas on what I should check, clean on the engine?? THANKS!
