  • My low idle is neg 1 deg should bev 5

    Hi I have a Johnson 115 HP 1973 model 115ESL73M I install a new capacitive discharge module on my motor Its better but I still get a occasional miss The johnson service manual says after replacing that part its a good idea to check the timing my low idle should be 5 deg for me to get it there I end up with a very high idle. when I set it to what I feel is a more normal idle speed the timing reads retarded to about negative 1 deg. does anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong. any help you could give would be appreciated, I did a link and sync before checking the timing. the carburetors respond properly to the throttle

    The main concern there is WOT timing to sure it is within specs, you can alter idle timing without any problems.

      State your procedure on setting the Idle Timing.... It has nothing to do with the actual idle and confuses many.
