I can't seem to get a good constant idle from this engine. Right now the only way I can use it is I start it up starts to rev high, turn it off stick it in gear quickly then ignition back on. sorry confusing but it's the only way I can use it right now. its very annoying to use an outboard like this.
Also It does not run well at higher rpms as well. it seems to run great from low to mid throttle. once I start to use it at higher rpm, it runs erratically. It will run strong then almost like it stalls and losses power then runs strong again.
I found some leaks in the fuel line which didn't fix the problem but at least made it usable. I tried cleaning the carberator myself but I'm not exactly a pro at doing this so not sure if I missed anything. Compression seems great. 125 and 130psi.
I don't know what else to do. fuel filter is clean on outboard, all fresh gas with some seafoam in it. What I do find strange is when I squezze the bulb I see air in the fuel filter as I pump then it goes away after I stop pumping.
I need help
