Default 8 hp Mariner can only keep running by playing with choke
My 8 hp Mariner outboard will only stay running if I constantly play with the choke. I have cleaned the carb, which helped for about 30 minutes. Any suggestions?

did you remove the jets, and clean spotless, reassemble with rebuild kit.
