ENGINE RUNS GREAT. 1996 48 HP EVINRUDE<br />IN NEUTRAL ENGINE CHUGS ALONG ON THE ROUGH SIDE<br />AND WHEN MOVED INTO GEAR AT IDLE SPEED THE<br />ENGINE CONKS OUT. (BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE)<br />WHEN DOCKING, THE ENGINE WILL NOT STAY RUNNING<br />WHEN MOVING FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE AT LOW<br />IDLE SPEED. THIS SYMTOM HAS JUST BECOME A <br />NOTICABLE PROBLEM.<br /><br />I AM NOT A MECH AND AM TRYING TO PREVENT TAKING<br />THE BOAT OUT OF THE WATER.<br /><br />I HAVE REPLACED THE PLUGS AND PLAN ON RUNNING<br />A EVINRUDE/JOHNSON FUEL CLEANER THRU THE<br />ENGINE THIS WEEKEND IN THE HOPES OF MAYBE<br />DESOLVING ANY CARB BUILD UP.<br /><br />SHOULD I CONSIDER ANY IDLE ADJUSTMENT OR<br />FUEL MIXTURE SCREW ADJUSTMENT IF THE FUEL<br />CLEANER DOES NOT CLEAR UP THE PROBLEM?<br /><br />ENGINE SMOOTHS OUT AT ABOUT 2000 RPM.<br /><br />AGAIN THE ENGINE IS IN GREAT CONDITION.<br /><br />ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND RECOMMENDATION WOULD<br />BE APPRECIATED.
