    If you could give your model no. it would be a big help, I might suggest a decarb and then new plugs, maybe even a rebuild on the carb and a link and sink, The sea king experts will be along hopefully and give you better advice.

    My suggestion is to at least try adjusting the low speed needle (assuming it has one) before "fixing" something that isn't even broken. If set too lean, it will cause a heavy missfire at idle, often called a "lean sneeze".
