What should the idle rpm be on a 1974 Johnson 70 hp? Mine seems to be quite high in neutral then put it in gear and it dies, took the carbs off and rebuilt them, checked the reeds they are clean and not stuck, changed the plugs, put it back together and same rusults, checked for vac. leaks, checked for headgasket leaks, checked compression and everything seems fine, the motor only has about 30hours on it since rebuild. What the cat hair am i missing here?
