[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 406481, member: 3278"] Progress. The low speed needle should have enough control over the mixture to fully shut off the engine if you lean it enough. You should be able to find a good running adjustment range. If you absolutely cannot control the mixture at low speeds then the carb will need to be disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt. Use an OEM kit only as it is way more complete than Sierra or other "will fit" kits. The drain screw on the gearcase is way down where the skeg meets the bullet shaped part of the gearcase. The vent hole is above the ventilation plate (horizontal plate above the prop). If it has water, drain it. Fill from the bottom until it runs out the vent hole. That can be fixed once you have the engine running well again. [/QUOTE]
