Well yesterday I went to the lake to do some fishing and everything was fine until my outboard stopped running, I tried to crank is but it wouldnt start to I open it up and notice that the packing nut and the needle valve was completely off, I was in the middle of the lake so I put it back in the the needle valve opening so I could start it again, It started and I ran it full throttle just so I could get to the side and out of the water, but it keep going off, finally I got out and today I got the chance to started working on it, I have rebuilt the carb before so I know the basics, I tried to adjust the needle valve like I always do it, turning it clockwise until it seats, turn it counterclockwise 1 1/2 turns and then keep turning it until the engine is running to the highest RPMs. Now the engine will start but only with full choke and if i open it, it will go off, I notice that the only way it will stay running is when the choke is half open and half close, If I put it on full choke it will go off, I been messing with the needle valve all afternoon but I cant get it right, So im guessing Im doing something wrong, or maybe is something else, I also cleaned the carb but it still does the same.. so pretty much im lost here, I dont know what to do next so any help or advice are welcome..
I hope someone can help me out, thanks
