Got it!! Idles now. Following oldboat1 guidelines. Everything else is good, compression, spark ect. Just did not know how to make it idle.
Thanks again for all the good info.
I'm sure I'll be asking more questions as I have another johnson 9.9 and a nissan 4 stroke 9.9. Got them all in a...
I have read that the idle mixture screw shoud be turned out from lightly seated 1.5 turns and also 3 turns. Can you verify which is a starting point for a 1980?
