I havnt owned my engine that long but when I bought it it ran real smooth but didnt like to idle. Its had a major tune up etc and then went into a shop to get the timing done and it needed the mixtures adjusted.

Now my engine runs good idles well but has a small shake at idle up to 2400 rpm when it hits the intermediate jets. Also it puts out more smoke. I assumed they had it to lean but took the boat out with the mechanic and he said it was running perfect. Do the older 2 stroke's have a bit of a shake to them??

Yes they do but it all depends on how bad the shake is.

It's not that bad but its noticable. Can feel it a little in my 19 ft boat. I just remember it being real smooth but it didn't exactly run right. Just wanted to make sure it was normal.
Thanks boobie

Try it and see what happens. Just make sure it's in the water when you do it. Not on muffs.
