Ok i am new to boating and this site! I just bought a 1996 force 75hp and my question's are these:

1.) When i take off from idle it studdurs for like 1-2 seconds then goes. What causes this. I do mix little more oil in my gas tank, bc i dont want to worry about running it too lean. I have been told that is ok.

2.) Second, My engine appears to idle higher than I think it should, However, I do not have rpm gagues on my boat to be able to tell if it is idleing fine. I did notice a screw on top of the carburator with a spring under it, and i was playing with it while i was running the boat at my house and got the idle down to wear i think it should be.....anyways, is there anything else i need to do? am i going to mess something up by adjusting the idle screw?????

PLEASE HELP GUYS!!!!

Jacob, You might move this post to the Chysler/Force Forum.

It is possible that you idle mixture is set incorrectly. also, idle speed is controlled by the throttle cable and an idle stop, om most outboards. You should not adjust anything unless you know what you are doing. I recommend you pick up a manual.
