Stalling Johnson??

[bassman1961]

I have a 1997 Johnson 150 Faststrike .I have a idle problem with this motor.It runs great at all speeds but when at idle it stalls.I have all kinds of problems loading the boat on the trailer.I have tried new spark plugs new has bulb.It seams that the warmer it gets the more it stalls. Need HELP?????????

Re: Stalling Johnson??

does it cough or sputter at all before it does? if not i would say bump your idle up a little.

Check the fuel recirculation system first. Make sure the one way valves are working, and the hoses are not pinched. If that doesn't fix it (I am betting it won't), then clean and rebuild the six carbs....
