Thanks guys!!
So I have a few engine questions. The first test run went great, but it was running a little rough. Then I stripped the starter drive gear (it was almost stripped anyways).
So I replaced that, then pulled the carbs cleaned them with crab cleaner then compressed air and replaceed the needles/seats/gaskets. It was running ok on muffs, but the linkage just didn't seem to return to the original position. I went to the lake and left the boat on the trailer and tried to set the idle. It just wouldn't idle, it would start run strong at higher rpms just not a low rpms. The idle set screw was set at the highest position.
I tried to adjust the linkage to get it to idle and just counldt get it. I'm kind of lost now, everything I do seams to make it worse.
You engine guys any ideas? 1985 omc 1.6 sea drive.
Thanks
