Okay so another update from this weekend. After changing the electronic fuel choke, setting the idle screws 5-3/4 turns out, letting the seafoam mixture sit over night, cleaning the vent valve on the fuel tank, and installing the high speed jets on the carbs, I am happy to say the motor runs...
Okay so an update. I guess I did not look well enough I found the jets in the package that I had saved from the new carb float bowls. I installed these high speed jets. I went out on a limb also and got fresh fuel in a external tank and mixed Johnson 2 stroke oil 50:1 an entire can of sea foam...
Yes that’s what I was coming up with while searching for them. I will most likely end up buying a size smaller that I can find and machine them out at work, hopefully I don’t screw em up.
I hope so. I’ll be back either way to let everyone know if this fixes it or not. I have read way to many forums where they just end and no solution was ever reported.
Yes I swapped the main jets to the new bowls. They did not however come with the high speed orifice jets in the bottom of the bowls, I found this out last night after I took them off again. Surely this will affect running conditions? But would it affect the idle condition? I have been working...
Yes I have cleaned the calibration pocket. When I rebuilt them I ordered 4 new OEM carb bowls because that is what the guy told me they were leaking from and checked those for warpage before I installed them on the carbs. what did happen though, was one of the plastic pieces of linkage broke...
another question I cant seem to find the answer for. Do I need to perform a link and sync on this motor after rebuilding the carbs? I have also noticed that the throttle lever is kind of hard to move. might I add that the throttle cable and shift cable were disconnected on this outboard when I...
I figured they were in the throttle bodies, I just did not want to start taking stuff apart and not know what direction I was headed. Thank you for that. When I rebuilt the carbs, I did NOT clean these passages. I will be doing so this evening when I get off work. What or where is the...
I made that mistake the first time I had them out. I ran it with them in for one test run out on the water, then I figured out via manual they weren’t supposed to go in this motor so I took them out. Still no change from the non idle issue.
It is a looper motor, I could t find in the manual where it said how many turns out. I was looking last night and the screws are way more than 4-5 turns out
