I have a 1999 johnson 50hp. J50pleea is the serial number.

I have no issue with the rpm at mid range, or any range,.

I have those wires under the fly wheel zip.tied to a cam or other linkage connected to the carbs. Prevents the idle.stop reaching.stop but i idle around 900 or so acclrding to a tach i. Have, when i force it to the stop rpm dont change much at all lesd then 50 or no deflection, but i do know they go down, the motor.shakes a lot more and quiets up a bit. But seems like its struggling.to stay on, like.its too low.

I wanted to snip the cable tie, but i didnt. My motor for now, starts on first turn of.key or second depending on fuel and ryns well.


Only issue is the boat wont stay at 4,000 rpm all the time because of changes in sea state and.wind, no cruise functiin, qhich isnt a fault if the motor.

Qhats that manual say for wot range? 5000_5500? I get around 5800 rpm with my boat at wot.
