    1976 135 just known for poor idle?

    So i have a 1975 135 johnson that idles a little higher than I want it to. It runs for a short while on low idle (just enough time to put it in gear without slamming in) but stalls if i dont act fast enough and rev it back up. That being said. Last year i went through and replaced everything...

Overall the boat is in...

    Timing an outboard on the trailer in the water?

    I have a 1976 johnson 135 that I bought last year. I have a service manual for it and I want to time it. The instruction says to time it at 20 degrees at a particular range of rpm in gear. I was always told the best way to time one is to have someone drive the boat while someone times the...
