Re: 1963 Johnson 75HP Super Sea Horse

Took her out for the first time on a local lake. Fired it up and it ran really well. It idled rough though. Ran it for a couple times at 4K-5K RPM and it did great. Once I got to the dock to trailer it, it stalled and wouldn't refire. I got out, backed the trailer in. Tried to start it again and it fired up but stalled. Wouldn't fire after that. I have new plugs I'm going to put in to see if that helps. I'll also check the fuel filter to see if gunk got in fuel line (new gas, old can). I think I need to make an adjustment to increase the idling speed. It looks like I have two options for doing this...Idle Stop Adjustment, or Slow Speed Adjustment on the carb. Which one? Should I do one b4 the other?
