Recently placed carb kits on motor (1988 johnson 88hp). Now it starts fine, runs strong but will race and idle high. Ran a tank full of fuel on Friday fishing. Noticed oily residue on transom. Seemed to use more fuel than usual.
please help, thanks

Are you using the oil mixing system or pre-mix?

Check for an air leak on your gasoline lines.
