Johnson V4 120hp Tuning Help

I'm looking for somebody to help tune my 1996 Johnson 120hp V4 motor. The motor runs strong when I'm hard on the throttle and up on plane but it just won't idle. It is also very hard to start.

Checked on that battery and it is fully charged. It runs my Vexilar just fine. It is a little smaller then your original battery (only6.5Ah) but PM me if you want it.

Die electric grease works great. If you don't have any grab some Vaseline, it'll help slow the oxidation.

What's wrong with the foot pedal? What does it or rather what doesn't it do? I might be willing to take a look at it if you would like.

The boat is docked in Wendover and I'm looking for some ideas on where is a good place to start fishing. We have tried some of the weed lines in the near area with limited success. I'm looking for a p...
