Happy 4th to all, I have a 200 hp oceanrunner 1995 it is a eo series. I have the plastic carbs.A friend told me I possibly had a carb running lean and I needed to richen it up.This is to correct a low speed shift stall out problem.The motor stalls at the dock when shifting,also it sneezes while in reverse other wise it runs perfect. I have gone over the linkage,and all moves nice and free. any advice ? thank you tog

Re: 1995 200 hp oceanrunner carb adj

your motor has fixed jets, if it's running lean it's because a jet is partially clogged. not letting enough gas thru to mix with the air. cleaning and rebuild time. what is your idle rpms in gear. they may be too low.

That motor may have adjustable idle jets. Look at the air box and see if there is a small hole in front of each carb.

set up your rpms, or clean your carbs. preferable clean the carbs. especially if they have never been done.

3 month old gas isn't bad at all... Even if the additives are partial cause of this problem clean the carbs anyway, a lean carb can cause major problems.

burn up most of that gas before refilling. and no need to store gas. i have a 50 gallon tank, that has never had more than $40.00 worth put in it.
