I've rebuilt the carbs but for it to idle after 10 minutes of warming up leads me to believe something else is going on. Something else is being affected by the heat.
I'm not sure if the carb is good in the first place. Jets have been replaces and from what I read the jets of all 3 carbs might be matched, so that's why I was wondering if I can use other year carbs on this '89. |

what rpm are you trying to idle at?

From what I've read, the idle should be around 750 +-. If it idles high, then I might not be able to get it in gear; so I've read.

750 to 1000 should be good
those motors have alot of electrical switches and boxes it could be electrical problems i have a 1988 and i had to change my stator 3 times and the simptoms vary

what kind of tach are you using to set the idle rpm, the one in your dash is probably not accurate enough at low rpm, I set the idle rpm usually by ear if i don't have my shop tach handy. I set it high enough where it will idle in gear, but when I pull it out of gear and back in, the boat doesn't lurch and you don't have a big clunk when shifting, try going from fwd to reverse, as long as it stays idling, adn it doesn't shift too harsh, you should be ok

go back and sync the carbs, pull the idle stabilizer off, adjust te pickup timing to get it to idle. Have you base lined it? Compresion test, spark check?

Is it easy to test the stator? If so, can you give the steps on how to do it?
