Vague, I know...but here goes- My 85 Johnson 6 hp- I recently rebuilt the carb, replaced the plugs and rebuilt the fuel pump. I got the motor running- HUUGE accomplishment alone- but now I need to fine tune rough idle. I recently bought the motor and just got it to run period, not sure if carb was out of adjustment before.<br />My symptoms include: runs fine at higher RPM, idles rough and chokes and dies after a minute or so, gradually idling down until it dies. Engine smokes alot as well.<br /><br /> I am not sure how far in I should adjust the rich/lean needle on the front of the cowling, or if this even has any effect. <br />Any thoughts?? <br /><br />Thanks all!!<br /><br />Jason
