Cool, glad the tilt problem is resolved….How are you doing on the idle issue? Do you have the correct Johnson service manual for this engine, generic manuals will just confuse you….This engine is extremely difficult to syncronize properly, and very fussy indeed….Over engineered to say the least… Make sure both throttle plates are completely closed at idle…Don’t forget this engine does have adjustable idle fuel needles…I don’t remember the initial setting off hand though…
