I have two 90 HP motors. One runs like a top, and the other fails to idle.
This engine has always had trouble maintaining idle, even when I first got it. How do I adjust the idle? Also, I read in another post that I should check the float position. Does anyone know what this value is? I also noticed the valve on the top of the 'carb', which is like a tire valve - is this for a can of carb cleaner, or for air to blow it out? Should I suspect the injectors? Can these be cleaned?
Oh, and I should mention, that although it doesn't idle, and runs a bit rough at low RPMs, it feels like it is right on the edge of working, so I am thinking if I can tweak the idle up just a little, running it a couple of weekends with some Techron or some such cleaner might make it all better. Does this seem reasonable?
Thanks in advance,
-Kevin
