idle problem.

[fluffy2]

greetings from new zealand.I have a 1995 johnson ocean runner that wont idle properly.I have changed the plugs.And put a water seperator on.This has made a difference.But not totally cured it.I noticed when changing the filter there was a lot of water in the filter.I have not changed the inline filter,should I do this?Timing is been checked.And the idle has been set right even a little high.Mostly seems to happen when I put it in gear at low speeds.Any help would be great.Sorry bout the long message

Re: idle problem.

If you had water, in the fuel system, you can bet your carburetors are fouled.<br /><br />The only fix is a thorough cleaning of each, with new kits.<br /><br />If you do not do it, you can count on a major failure (piston melt down).

Re: idle problem.

You need to follow DJ's advice and while you are at it install an in line fuel filter/water seperator. It looks like an automotive oil filter.
