Thanks for the knowledge… I think a lot of ppl scroll/click and they don’t give anyone the recognition they deserve for the knowledge they gained. Thank you sir. 🙏

Unfortunately without showing how to adjust them, it wasn't super helpful.

Great tips! Gonna have to check this on my old 150 2 Stroke Johnson

so how do you adjust them? why didnt you show that?

Also make sure all the throttle butterfly plates are closed in idle position because the linkage between the carbs may be keeping one from closing completely if adjusted too tight. Also one of your spark plugs may not be firing, like a bad plug wire could be shorting.

Thanks man,was stumped with my outboard shaking,this really helps

Thank you bro, you gave me an idea where to start....

Great information; how do I adjust?

gonna used this tip now thanks hopefully it helps with my ervindure 50hp

I have an evinrude 150xp, and mine constantly dies on me after running a fairly decent 32mph for a good distance, but when I slow down to idle or dock, it wants to die repeatedly and I was thinking because of the low idle, but I'm gonna check these parts out, too... thanks

Yes and there is an actual gap adjustment in the manual. It's not supposed to be tight against that rocker.

Their called throttle plates. Good video

Sweet, ty. Now how do it fix it? 🤣😋

i got an aha moment now. thanks.!!.. will be a long night before i can go and look at my engine . :-P

Holes, reed valves. The proper terminology and not showing the actual procedure to remedy. This is PRICELESS!! Oh, I mean worthless.

How do you adjust it? I need to check mine. It’s shaking somewhat and idling too low

The gap between the roller and the throttle is for timing advance before the throttle opens

Well done! Loved it! Super super helpful

What’s the point of telling someone what needs to be done without explaining how to do it. “Hope this Helps” ….. Um not really

Do you have a video on how to adjust the idle on this motor? I have the same one and want to increase the idle speed

Super helpful bud thanks

Great information now explain how to fix it !

at 2:10..mine dont start off horizontal ( 3, 9 o clock ) they are slightly off. and my lower carb pin doesn't open vertically when wide open. how do these get adjusted.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the knowledge

the roller for the timing advance (the big slotted plastic piece to the left of the carbs below the flywheel) is off quite a bit! the 2 arrows point inwards needs to be lined up with the roller, same thing for the carb cam roller. you are off a bit there as well. you also need to check the advance link rod and make sure its the correct length, which it isn't because the roller doesn't line up with the arrows. need to check the factory service manual for specs.

Hi, nice video. I recently purchased a 1989 Johnson 70 for my boat. It ran very nicely at 10 knots on its first voyage for an hour or so, but as soon as I entered an unrestricted speed area and attempted some acceleration the motor shook from side to side fairly roughly. Low speed was always okay. Do you think it could be a sync or dirty carb issue, perhaps a blocked higher speed jet that only presents issues under acceleration?

Came across your video and will look into this! Hope you can help diagnose this issue. 1986 Nissan 70HP Both carbs had new kits put in them last year. I believe I am having a fuel or air problem and not getting the full power of both carbs. It is also possible the carbs are not properly 'synched'. When I spray a little carb cleaner in the top carb the engine rpm raises dramatically maybe another 1000 or so. When I spray the same shot in the bottom carb the engine rpm raises but maybe only half rpm of the top carb. What would cause this discrepancy? Would I be correct in thinking I have an issue with the bottom carb? It appears to be more air related as opposed to fuel related.

Thanks for this. You helped me out with that last video regarding the shift rod connector going onto the clutch dog. Motor and gears are working great. However, could you walk me through adjusting the carburetor as you talk about in this video. I have a 2001 50ho Johnson and it shakes, doesn't start unless I put it in idle and stalls out after it's been running a while. I have cleaned the carbs and replaced with a carb kit. I don't see any leaks and i had the fuel pump rebuilt 2 seasons ago. I'm thinking I just need some carb adjustments and sync. Please help brother..........you know what you're doing and create very helpful videos.

Hi Quick question my 2 stroke engine slow idle down until go off only on gear neutral idle it's fine any idea 😢 thanks

You didn't show how to adjust it?

Hello. I have the same engine and I’m getting idle problems and cutting out when engaging forward. Out of curiosity why is your cam follower so high from its resting middle mark. Is this done for idle adjustment. I’m just curious. Ps keep the videos coming I need them haha.

Hey Mate it looks like you don't have a VRO on the outboard, if so did you remove it and is it something you would recommend doing ?

Hi. Thanks for the video. My '89 40hp looks very similar to yours. Mine is struggling to idle when in the water. I made some of the adjustments you recommended. My manual doesn't discuss carburetor mixture adjustments. Does yours recommend how far to turn the screws out? Do you know where yours are set? Thanks.

I need to take off my carbs to rebuild them, do you just pop off that link bar? Is there a trick to it? Will I mess anything up

Where is the adjustment made ?? How do you make the pins vertical .. Mine on the top carb is way off .. Both carbs were removed and cleaned ..

I have the same 1986 40hp but with vro. Have you ever got into the cylinders on yours? I have 0 compression on the top and 150 below. I hope I got it soon enough that it is just rings. Any pointers?

Having an issue with johnson 48 spl only running 1/4 speed at full throttle any ideas

Great video!

Thanks man

How do you adjust the pins to make sure there vertical? Have the same motor having some issues missing and mine are way past vertical

Tohatsu outboard does not get gasoline into the cylinders. The injector, ecu, spark plugs are intact. When I pour gasoline into the pistons, it works a little. When I press the starter, oily gasoline comes out of the exhaust. Could the high pressure pump have malfunctioned? How can I test it? Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey..

I have a Yamaha 25hp 2-stroke that runs fantastic on all stages, starts easy, idle's great and picks up out of the water like a bullet. The only complaint I have is that the entire throttle zone between idle and the "starting icon" (sorry don't know the term for it) is completely useless, the entire zone when i twist the throttle is the same idle speed and then it picks up. Looking at my roller there is a sizeable gap, about a centimeter gap at idle so that explains the dead zone until i get to the "starting icon" where the roller then touches the throttle. My question to you is how should I go about fixing this? I can loosen the plate on the throttle and reposition it closer to have a smaller gap, but will this mean that when I throttle to the "starting icon" that it'll be in even higher throttle? I don't want that it surely can't be good for it and likely will do nothing more than flood when I go to start it. Thanks i hope that was somewhat clear... lol Basically if I do this the position at start will likely change, what should the starting position even look like with relation to how hard the roller is touching the throttle?

mine is not compleetly vertical, still like, 30 degree left

Hey! You can help me a lot! I have the exact same engine: the problem I have is that it’s hard to start it and it dies often in neutral such as forward/backwards low speed. And it shakes as hell in low speed. Are u sure that this problem could be solved by cleaning the carbs?

Nice video..I have a 75 hp tracker force motor. It is on my suntracker bass buggy 18. It won’t go faster than 9.5 mph. It burns through a 5 gallon tank in no time at all. What are your thoughts on this?

Can you explain to us how to adjust them please

how do you adjust???

Hello- I need help doing the linkage adjusting/synchronization on my 1997 Johnson 15hp tiller model 2strk. The manual says to remove pin retaining throttle lever connector. However, you cannot access this without removing the lower power head cowling, which I attempted to do but there is one screw I cannot get to as it is almost underneath the power head by the latch mechanism and no way to access. Was wondering if anyone has ever been successful performing this synchro procedure and if so, how did you successfully remove that last screw (located inside the cowling, towards the back of the powerhead, right by the latch mechanism)? Thanks in advance!

Could this cause the engine to cut off while running wide open?

How do you adjust them

How do you adjust the idle

My manual says roller supposed to be dead center

Good info. Thanks

Good evning I was wondering if u had any idea what the factory setting is for the jet just above the linkage u almost toughed it at like 15 seconds in thank u for any help mine is a 1991 Johnson 40 can't find much on them on here

I have 2 1997 evinrude 90hp outboards. I can audibly tell that my starboard side motor is running at a higher RPM than my port motor at WOT By the gauges its 800-1000 rpm less. do you have any suggestions as far as what to adjust to bring my port motor up to match?

Your motor is the same as mine. Runs great at full throttle but has a very slow idle and dies when I put it in reverse. How do I increase the idle speed to prevent this?

Any chance you could send me that manual? I have the exact same motor

Those are NOT "reed valves" Reed valves are behind the carbs

Reed valves? You sure about that?

👍

Cool. Now what ?

If it is a two stroke 40-50-55-60 horse Johnson/Evinrude 2-cylinder looper, it is going to shake from side to side at idle. That is simply the nature of the beast. Not my favorite Johnson/Evinrude motor for that very reason. Learn to live with it, or get a 3-cylinder 50-60-70-75. They are amongst the finest 2-stroke motors made.

Hi there, I have the same engine a 40hp Johnson and having issues with it, it revs out perfectly in neutral however once you engage the forward gear it won’t rev out, and is stuck at a low speed, it revs out perfect in reverse and neutral but not the forward gear. Any idea what this may be? The carbs accelerator cable is working perfectly and is opening the carbs as it should.

well i guess part of the title was accurate... now i gotta watch another goofy video to learn how to adjust...

Please show motor shaking next time.

How do you calibrate it??
