[QUOTE="Succotash, post: 310727, member: 11447"] Well I took it out on the water today to test it out. Here's what happened: Started up, but not on the first pull like it does on the muffs. Adjusted the mixture needle as best as I could, pretty much turning it all the way to the right (lean) and It still seemed to idle OKAY. After a little warm up time I opened it up to get some speed, and she started surging. I gave it a bit more throttle and she seemed to smooth out some. At this point I was moving pretty good, I was almost at full throttle and it actually sounded normal. As I reduced throttle to slow down, I heard a backfire and saw a puff of white smoke as she quit. It took me several (and I mean several) pulls to get her fired up again, and the some condition repeated itself. Sounds like an extremely rich condition to me. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
