Default Re: Mercury or Mariner motors

I have a 1997 200 with carbs. I also had the oil injector removed (plastic drive gear-what the hell were they thinkin'?)
I have the same rough idle, and it will stall occasionally too, I have been blaming the carbs but now I am thinking different, maybe the timing is just set for speed & won't idle well.

I tried carb cleaner & it seemed to help but for a very short while, maybe it just cleaned off the excess oil?

At speed you can't find a smoother machine, a bit noisy maybe but it will cruise well & hits it when you want (mid 40's calm & trimmed).

I thought efi was the trick, I guess not - maybe a yammie is the trick.....
