    How hard to rebuild 2000 50HP Johnson carb?

    I have a 2000 Johnson 50HP motor. It runs great when moving, but it idles half so... Sounds as if it is flooding out after 2-3 minutes of idling. My research says it is likely the carb.

    2000 - Johnson 50 HP Idle Issues

    My dad has my grandpaws boat. It is an aluminum haul with a 2000 Johnson 50HP (J50PLSSM). It has given us problems always and I decided to try and work on it since my dad doesn't have time. Believe it or not, the boat has sat for at least 6 years and it started on the first crank once I primed...
