Re: 35 hp evenude dosnt like to go slow
Very interesting. The parts list does not show a 314166 bearing in the 35hp carb for that year. But it does show it for the 25hp, same year. Anybody know for sure if it is supposed to be in there on the 35?
Anyhow, the "bearing" is actually a "seal" around the slow speed needle, and if it leaks it will suck air and cause it to cough and snort at idle.
I assume you did try simply opening the needle some more? That might be all it takes.
You could also have a leaking lower crankshaft seal, but let's not assume that till the obvious has been checked.
