    Still working on it

    2000 70hp : starts and idles fine but dies under load. The local mechanic said it sounds like a low idle adjustment problem. When I started working on this the screws were opened 3 1/2 turns. Cleaned and "rebuilt" the carbs and set the idle screw back the same as before 3 1/2 turns. The rebuild...

    2000 70hp Johnson quit

    Maybe my first post was too lengthy. Engine only shows life directly after pumping up the fuel bulb, then doesn't stay running. :confused:

    2000 70hp Johnson quit

    This beast has run flawlessly for me over the past couple of years. I bought it used. I should mention that there was a bit of a hiccup a couple of months back, it would not shut down when I turned the key off. That didn't happen again other than sometimes it seemed reluctant to shut down. Last...
