[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 391907, member: 7076"] Ignore the timing plate. I apologize that I didn't pay close attention to the model number. With a 4 stroke, you're not advancing the timing with the throttle. It sounds like you may have a little slack in your throttle cable. That would cause the change in resistance that you are feeling, but shouldn't cause it to stall. A quick search shows that this seems like it's a pretty common issue with the Johnson 4 stokes. Not idling low enough. It appears some people have overcome it by making some advanced adjustments to the carb. Not something I'd recommend unless you're confident the problem can be fixed, and are capable of doing the mods. Sorry I can't help more, but I don't have enough experience with 4 strokes to give good advice here. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
