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!!!!
