Hello,
I'm a new guy and have a small problem. I have a Nissan 5hp motor. NS5B. It ran perfect last year. I did not drain the gas or anything else to store it this winter. Just kept it upright and out of the elements. I stuck it in a big barrel of water and it fired right up after 4 or 5 pulls. BUT, it will not idle. Just revs up with no studders or misses...just won't idle. What should I do or check? I am pretty handy, but know next to nil about boat motors. I have no manual. I need this thing in a month for camping trip. I know...I should have stored it properly!! Anyway, any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Neb

Yep. Likely carb issue. Owner's manuals are available at Nissan Marine's website. Parts catalogs at Internetoutboards.com, and service manuals from any dealer.
