    1986 Mariner 8hp 6G1 won't idle without choke

    High octane will do nothing for you. Check for air leaks around the carb. Did you use a new gasket? Get her running and spray some starting fluid around the cab, not in the carb. If it gets sucked into the engine you will hear the difference and know you have a leak.

    Best fuel consumption

    Maybe number 2, but both would be much better at about 3800 rpm. And even better would likely be about 5 mph over planing speed. Then, the first one would be better if you do a lot of short hops, starting out and getting on plane repeatedly. So how you use the boat will affect the mpg more than...
