I own a 2000 Honda BF75A motor. I recently didn't use it for 3 plus months and just had it on the water this past weekend. The motor starts fine, but I had significant issues getting it to 2000 RPMS without the motor completely dying out on me. I eventually used the fuel line bulb to keep pressure in the fuel line as I was able to throttle over 2000 RPMs.
After I successfully was able to run the motor for a period of time, the engine did perform better. However, each day that started and first ran the motor, I still had hesitation issues (almost would kill, but not if I took it slow enough) with the motor.
Question: Do I need to have the 4 carberators cleaned and checked out, or is it possible that I burned enough of the varnish and junk away that I don't need a tune up?
A related question; my motor idles at approximately 1000 RPMs; I assume that this is high and should be adjusted. Or do Honda motors idle this high?
Thanks,
