just picked up a 1969 9.5 Johnson at starts easy and runs good except when you slow it down to idle it speeds and slows down and speeds up and slows down on its own. does this sound like a float issue? or ignition?

^^I think so too. Sounds offhand like the idle mix needle is loose and wandering around a bit.
