The I/O has just been rebuilt. Been sitting awhile. Ran good for three weeks. Now has trouble engaging at low idle.
I went through the electrical. I broke carb down and soaked and cleaned(Holley two Barrell 300 cfm). Replaced fuel filters. Took out and ran at different speeds and adjusted High/Low idle pilot screws(to the best of my ability).
I got it idleing @ 600-650 rpms. and from neutral position when I engage she won't stay going w/o a little throttle play. I raised idle to 750-800 and get better response, but still not consistently running when I engage.
I can play w/ it and get it engaged in Forward and then it will low idle in gear and operate OK. I just know that I shouldn't have to do that.
It fires right up in the driveway and idles just fine, but, under load(in the water) it just don't got! I wonder due to the age of the engine if a lead additive would help, as I know this engine was not made to run on modern fuel. Thanks in advance for all help.
