After getting my shifting issue fixed I took my outboard out for a spin on the lake this weekend. The last time I had it out it was running out of fuel so I thought the fuel pump needed to be rebuilt. I put a new diaphragm kit in the fuel pump, cleaned and rebuilt the carb, new fuel filter, new fuel and new plugs. What happens is that the engine will start up and run and idle fine, but when I open it up it will run fine for a couple seconds, then throttle up like its running better and then die out. If I keep the squeeze pulp pressurized it stays running, but I think now I might have a fouled plug because it wont seam to open up. I'm not sure where to go from here since the revving up before stalling out is telling me its too rich and getting a better mixture by starving but then starving out. I am not familiar with these carbs, but is there only the air screw adjustment? Anyone have any ideas to point in the right direction?
