It was a disappointing test run. I got the motor running in a barrel but tried it in the lake this evening. Here is how it went: <br />-It starts on the 3rd or 4th pull but I have to increase throttle.<br />-Has a weak idle-seems like it needs to be higher.<br />-Runs roughly at mid range and smoothes out somewhat at higher RPMs.<br />-Top speed is slower than the 1978 20hp I also have that runs perfectly.<br />-Seems to occasionally misfire throughout RPM range and if I squeeze primer bulb the motor cuts out.<br />-After shut down the engine weeps fuel at exhaust and carb.<br />-The engine runs warmer than it should....has plenty of tell tale but exiting water is very warm-to hot. Should run cooler.<br /><br />I posted earlier where I indicated I replaced the inlet needle and seat and fuel pump diaphram. Also impellar, lower water pump housing (base).<br />Any additional help very appreciated.<br />Thank you.<br />John
