Johnson 6 dying in gear
I use a Johnson 6 on my
boat
. It will only idle well in neutral with the choke pulled out fully. When I put it in
gear
and give it some gas it dies.
Solutions?

Re: Johnson 6 dying in gear
its starving for gas. Make sure there is some and it's clean and fairly new. Take the carb off and clean it, incl the jets..

Re: Johnson 6 dying in gear
Take the knob off of the lean / rich screw. Turn the screw all the way to the right, and then back off 1 1/2 turns. Put knob back on and make minor adjustments from this point.
