i have a 125 hp i took it out last weekend could not get it to start lots of gas in both carbs after looking at it i noticed that the top carbs choke was stuck shut. after unsticking it i got the motor to run but i cannot get it to idle at all . compression is 140 in 1,2,and 4 and 120 in 3. i replaced the bypass tube in the top carb because i damaged it .don't know for sure if this the problem or not.

Go to the FAQ at the beginning of the maintenance forums and search for the procedure to decarb your engine. Give it a good decarb or two and then come back and tell us how it is operating.
