    I had one of their technicians come out day 3 or 4 since the boat had already been launched. guy came on a ride along and brought a screw driver with him that he never ended up using. told me that was the way the motor was designed to run. I called BS because I had a 50hp Johnson on there...

    70 HP Johnson Idle Adjustment

    I never idled from day one. He mentioned tuning it in cool weather so in hot months might be tough running. But even in early or late months in the season it never ran/idled correctly. Which is dangerous when trying to dock, especially when trying to dock or get through a busy no wake channel...

    70 HP Johnson Idle Adjustment

    This was a new to me motor about 4-5 years ago from a guy at a local marina that had a lot of positive referrals when I reached out on a local facebook group looking for a replacement motor. He supposedly had the whole thing apart and did a rebuild essentially The idle is definitely way too...

    1993? Johnson 70 HP 3 Cylinder 2 Stroke - Stalling Issues

    I bought this motor from a marina/mechanic. I was told they had it apart to repair the water pump and gaskets before it was sold to me and that it had passed compression tests and everything was working as it should. The only thing I was warned about was to not use ethanol fuel as these older...

    Hello all, Is anyone familiar with with this Johnson motor? I am having trouble with it not being able to idle or be at a low RPM. Unfortunately my tachometer is busted and I cant tell where the minimum RPM is before it stalls. I do know where it is on the throttle though. I'm not trying to...
