88 Force 125 Engine Input For a Newbie

[DDG53]

Well i'm going to my best and describe my issue. Me and my brother-in-law just replaced the impeller. Stars up real smooth.. But after a couple die downs about (7 times)....Then it just ran straight. Mind You guys this was with a test tank and not a float. So this is my break down..
1. There is about 5 gallons of gas with an eye ball of 2 stroke fluid when i mean eye ball pretty much from the reading the back of the bottle..
2. No Sea Foam...
3. Just changed the plugs..
4. Lots of smoke coming out of the exhuast...
5. Charged battery..
So I'm figuring that most of you would say tune-up..witch mostly come down to it. Just maybe some input before the shop and save some money.. Thanks Guys..

So just what is it doing?I'm confused.Sounds like it was stalling then it straightened itself out.
A tune up is basically new plugs.And a timing check and setting the carbs.
Get a manual to check timing.Carbs,turn air screw in till it bottoms and then out 1 and1/16th turn.Remember where your were set at and see how much difference there is.J

No get a manual.Some say Clymer is better than Seloc.I like the factory ones.
