Ok folks can anyone help me out? I think i got shafted, i bought a 1983 15 hp chrysler short shaft outboard 2 days ago. The guy i bought it from said it "runs as new" He fired it up 2-3 pulls showed me it ran had lots of power idled good, shifted well forward & reverse... so i bought it.... 400 bucks ok i layed in my truck on a dropcloth very carefully brought it home put it on my boat, got it down to the water this morning fired right up ran good, Except for when i lower the speed, gas comes out the front of the carb & it shuts off... everytime. called my local boat mechanic he said it could just be the carb or it could be major? Took the carb off cleaned it well with carb cleaner, put it back on now it wont fire unless i squirt a little carb cleaner in it, its like it isnt getting any gas at all now? also, i'm gonna go buy new plugs looks like it needs some anyone know the gap setting? please any input would be appreciated! Thanks Rob
