I have a 1973 5 Hp eska that I hope someone out there can answer some of my questions.
I carried my outboard to the river to try it out after I had installed new points and condenser,rebuilt the carb,and installed a new impeller.
The motor cranked on the second pull and seemed to run fine.
I decided to troll and fish some but when I slowed the motor down,I if started to skip and pop. The motor runs great at higher speeds its just the lower speed that buggin me.
By lower speed I mean between the stop and run position on the trottle lever.
Will a float that is to high or to low cause the rough idle?I reset the float level using a 11/64 bit. I tried to richen up the air mixture but it didn't make any differance.Do all the iskas do this?
Any advise will be helpful.

adjust the lean rich knob to the lean side. leaner will up the idle. also make sure yur hispeed needle is 1 1/2 turns out. and start over with the starting procedure.
