I can "catch" the motor if I advance the throttle (no opening of the carb...
Motor is an '89 Evinrude 175 crossflow...took a trip to the keys this weekend, ran about 45 gallons (premium only) through her (a good bit of running for the old gal). She ran great spare noticing a decrease in idle stability (will die when throttling down to neutral; and when sitting at idle...
