I haven't added to this thread since last year but because some people have been interested in my boat set up lately I thought it might be a good time to start. I have some new videos and photos I can post and can go into more detail on a few things I've already discussed.
I used a lot of space last year talking about my idle problem but noticed I never said how I fixed it...what I did was soak it for 8 hrs in Yamaha carb cleaner. I had cleaned then rebuilt the carb once then cleaned it again with no success. Then I took it apart again,soaked it,sprayed it out with carb cleaner then blew it out with air. I have 3 carbs to clean this week from a 70hp Johnson and will be doing it the same way.
Maybe next time I'll talk about gluing and adhesives,something I did a lot of last year and haven't seen covered yet...until then...
