Hey guys, I'm new on here so I really don't know what I'm doing. I have a 1969 evinrude 6 and I am having problems keeping it on high idle. I cleaned the carb and replaced a few parts on the carb. The air fuel mixture needle seems to be very loose in the carb and usually vibrates out when I have the motor running. I tried adjusting the knob to see if the motor would run any better and it seemed to do nothing when I turned the knob. Anyone know what my problem could be?

There is a little gasket that the needle goes into. That helps keep the needle seated. Have you lost yours? The carb kit I got for my '69 4hp didnt have this little piece...... Also there is a nut on the outside that needs to be tight.
