I am having an idle issue with my 1968 Evinrude Fastwin 18 HP. The idle is rough and I can't seem to adjust the slow speed needle to a point where the idle will smooth out.
I believe I have the packing nut tightened all the way down, but the slow speed needle still seems loose to me. I put two packing washers in just like the parts drawing shows. Is it possible I would need to put in a third packing washer to get a tight fit and thus eliminate a potential air leak? Has anyone else had this same problem?
Thanks in advance.
