My 2002 carburetted 90 hp FS (owned from 2010) always drops idle to stalling at startup. First enrichment circuit kicks in and engine starts normal but when enrichment automatically stops the engine has tendency to stall. Normal idle is 850 but when started it drops to abt 500/600 and most times I need manipulating the throttle lever to prevent it from stalling. After a few minutes at higher rpm (1200-1500) I can, with fingers crossed, cast away with just enough rpm without stalling.
Once underway, after a few minutes, at 2000 rpm I can put engine in neutral/shift fwd/reverse and all is fine. Rpm then around 850 and rest of the day no problem.
- New fuel lines/fuel & water filter/ fresh fuel/ oil looks ok/ impellor ok/gear oil ok.
- Allways use dryfuel/quick clean.
- Last year carbs cleaned
It's just everytime at startup (warm or cold outside). What could it be?
