I’ve got a couple 1995 ocean runner 175 a week ago the outboard ran perfect. Today I tried getting it going and the idle was rough and rpms started surging spent the day tinkering sometimes it would run sometimes not at all had it running and shifting in and out of gear but was only idling 500 rpms and kept messing around now I have it starting again it’ll idle for a few seconds and then the rpms just rise very quickly. Any ideas where to start? At this point I’m thinking a lean condition maybe from an air leak of some sort? I’ve double checked al fuel lines and pulled the fuel bowl out at the pump and it’s all clean. Carbs appear to be clean. The problem is I can’t keep it idling low long enough to actually diagnose anything as I have to shut it down once the rpms start rising
