Thanks a lot . That's exactly it , i want to clean the carburetor and just get it running like new do you know anyone that can help me in the Los Angeles area?
Go to the local Marine dealor and get the Seloc, Volume I Outboard Repair Manual. That will give you lots of good info on tear down and rebuild, as well as tune up info.
I would strongly recommend the factory service manual over any others. There are a bunch of folks here that are more than willing to help with any of your questions but a manual gives you a basis of understanding that is necessary to even ask the right question. You will be able to get the thing running like a champ in no time. Rick.
