Re: force 125 hesitation
It's only slight though, just check your air mixture, make sure they are the same on both carbies, MARK! the original settings before you move it, I do this with a black pen on the carby front so I know the original setting before I move it to lightly seated and re-adjust to 1 1/8 on my motor, but start at 1 and 1/4 first and water test, if it bogs down adjust 1/16 on each making sure you set them the same, try again.
But check out Frank A's sticky at the top of the forum for linking and syncing, I start mine at 1 and 1/4 have my boat in the water, and I adjust 1/8 of a turn on one carby clockwise till you hear it pop, I mark that position, then I go counter clockwise till I hear it roll or gallop, I mark that spot. I shut the motor off, adjust that carbie to the mid point of those two marks wipe the old marks off and put a new mark on that midpoint, I then adjust back to lightly seated going clockwise while counting the turns. I then do the same for the bottom carby, but after that I divide the two settings added together by two and I will get what I actually set both carbie too.
So for e.g. if one mid-point is 1 turn on one carbie and the other midpoint is 1 and 1/8 turns, I would set them both to 1 and 1/16 turns, as it stands my 100hp is set at 1 and 1/8 turns both carbies. If your motor only has that hesitation while idling it will be in your low idle passages of your carbies if there is a block, but more than likely your air mixture isn't spot on.
Also when I started doing this by the manual, I noticed it said to have the motor in forward but at it's lowest possible idle speed, which can be lower than 750rpm, this is achieved by turning your idle screw down, but note where it was set, as you will more than likely need to re-set at 750rpm idle in forward, around 900 - 1000 out of gear.
Let us know how you go.
