[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 277632, member: 7791"] Have you adjusted the slow speed idle screw yet? It is located on the top/front of the carburetor. Start by turning it all the way in, to the right and lightly seating it. Then back it out 1.5 turns to start with and fire it up and let it run for at least 30sec before adjusting either way in 1/4 turn increments allowing 30sec each time for the motor to catch up with the carb. Find the spot where your motor idles at its fastest and back it off 1/4 turn. Do this again on the water while in gear at its lowest idle to fine tune it. [/QUOTE]
