Any help would be greatly appreciated. Having problems with outboard idling will idle just fine with cover off, replace cover runs for maybe 15-20 seconds and dies, take off cover restart it idles fine I am stumped. I dont want to start messing with things i have no business messing with because it was running fine. By the way cleaned out screen on fuel pump still doing same thing.

sounds like the exhaust gasket is bad. They are a bear to replace if you can find the part. Some people have drilled small holes in the cover to help. I have not tried. Good luck. Is this in the water, or a barrel?
