I have a 1993 40hp force. Ran it for the first time and when its running wide open it nice and smooth. When i have it just past idle it seems rough to me. To the point of shaking the boat. I have no tach yet so i don't' know at what rpm this occurs at. I have changed the plugs and it starts nice and easy now but it still rough just past idle to maybe quarter throttle

Re: Rough Idle

On the top of the carburator above the choke is a mixture adjustment screw. Try turning that 1/8 turn counter clockwise and see if that improves the idle.
