Hello guys
I thought i had my problems solved, but no....
First an brief take on what i have done to the boat this winter...
I changed the fuellines, both from the tank to the engine and the ones under the hood. All the clamps are also new. The carbs where cleaned thoughly and rebuild with OEM BPR parts. Floats were set at level with the base of the carb, just like on the video that i have seen on youtube
The gap on the sparkplugs is also correct.
I have also changed the trottle cables and instaled a voltmeter. I know the the voltmeter is just connected to the + and - wires on the battery so it is not the compleatly right way to do it. The battery is also brand new.
So after the long winter here in Denmark i tried to start the engine up around a month ago. Of course fresh full were put in the tank. It started right up, but after a while it began to have these small stumbles at idle, which was original why i rebuild the carbs to get rid for that. After these 2 sec stumbles it would go back up to normal idle. The funny thing about it was that at the time the engine stumbled the tell tale water got hot. I have posted a thread earlier and some told me the temp. range on the cylinder so a couple of days ago i was on the lake and there was no problem with the water from the tell tale getting hot or the cylinder was also under the temp. range. At that time the stumblin in idle was also gone but i didn't go that much in idle but i thought it was gone. I adjusted the idle because it was a little low. It should be noted that the engine runs great from idle to WOT.
Then yesterday i was on the lake and i thought the idle was a bit high so i adjusted it down a bit, but the when i had to put the hood on again the engine would slowly die but if i took the hood of it would go to normal idle again, and then the stumblin began again. It was quiet a annoying because i thought i had the problems solved. After this i went back to the harbour and on the way in i noticed that the voltmeter was a bit under 12 v. And to do matters worse the trim/tilt would only go down but not up, but i managed to get the boat out of the water and then hit the relays a bit and then the trim/tilt would go up again.
Hope that anyone can give me a clue on where to start so that i can get this great engine running smothly
I have made a video of the stumblin and the idle, which is a bit high because otherwise the engine would die.

just turn the volume down a bit and you can here the stumblin. I sorry for the pour picture quality.
Hope that anyone can help me...
