not enough rpm's

[weldbilt17]

I HAVE A 1975 EVINRUDE 25 HP TILLER HANDLE OUTBOARD. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO REV UP AS FAST AS IT SHOULD AT W.O.T. THE PLUGS ARE FAIRELY NEW AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CARB APART {the neddle was stuck and it wouldn't start} IT LOOKED CLEAN, I BLEW THROUGH ALL THE HOLES AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. IT RUNS AND IDELS GOOD BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW TO ADJUST THE LINKAGE TO THE CARB FROM THE FLYWHEEL. IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS NOT GOT ENOUGH AIR GOING IN BUT I'M NOT SURE, AND ALSO IT DOESN'T RUN THE SAME WHEN I PUT THE TOP BACK ON IT. ANY HELP ON THE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT AND RICH-LEAN ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Re: not enough rpm's

go to engine faq forum. Joe Reeves carb adjustment. if needle was stuck, the rest of the carb needs to be cleaned and rebuild kit.
