Trying to understand the TKS sytem on my 2007 3.0

[perna00]

I just purchased an 07' bayliner 195 discovery with the 3.0 TKS system with alpha 1. The boat has plenty of power and runs great but will not idle under 1,000 rpm's and will stumble sitting at it. I was reading that the TKS system gives it more fuel and easily starts it but can cause problems. It almost seems like the choke is sticking at idle and is causing my problems. Is there any more info you can give me on the system and how I can possibly test it? Thank you.

I just tried opening the link and it is giving me a server error. Is it a good link?

Don, thanks for the link. It worked on my iPhone.

I'm thinking that my problem would be the temp switch not working making it run rich after it warms up. I'll test it this weekend. Thanks for the help!
