    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    More and more thinking this is a dirty carb issue. The low speed jets probably need cleaned.. When its cold I think the enrichening system is compensating for the dirty jet, but when warmed up that closes off and starves out the engine. At least that is where my brain is leaning.

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    Plugs look great, noticed oil was a bit over filled not a lot but I just corrected that. Oil itself looks perfect.. I am currently looking for a pdf of the repair manual for this motor

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    No it fires up and sounds great right now, only acts up when the motors hot. Like starts within a crank or 2. I am going to pull the new plugs and see how they look.

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    Could this be a vapor lock issue? I ran that motor around 4k rpm for a long period to get back to the dock. then lower rpms for a few minutes then it died soon as it went into neutral and became hard to start.

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    I originally thought it was injected for some reason, but its clearly not.. But I still don't think its a carb issue since it starts and idles just fine when not fully heated up..

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    Picked up a lightly used 03 Smoker craft with a 75hp 4 stroke motor.. went through everything and got it running pretty good after it sat a few years. Occasionally after it's really warmed up it will die when put into nuetral and can be a pain to restart. I changed all the plugs and it seemed...

If I really get on it, it gets on plane and handles fine with...

    Can I shorten a steering tilt/support tube?

    The steering cable nut that connects to the tilt tube was seized on after using penitrating oil for a while I put heat to the nut and it came loose, but the threads on the end are basically gone. Can I just cut the 3/4-1 inch of threads off and install new cable?

    asking: Alpha gen2 adding grease fitting clarification

I pulled the drive unit but the u-joints all move very smoothly. Not sure where else to look.. might just pump in a bit more grease and move it a bunch to see...
