[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 406541, member: 6843"] I guess I can say once the outboard ran for a few minutes it was like a bit less than luke warm at idle. I guess it may be running a hair on the rich side due to the black carbon flowing out of the propeller. Better to be running a hair rich than lean. The water pump works awesome. I'm wondering if I should fully seat the fuel/air mixture screw and reset the lean/rich setting perfect. I believe once seated it's 1 1/4 turns out then find a happy medium. I have the shop book for it,I do my own work by learning myself,I will never pay the crazy money a marina wants for simple stuff I can fix myself. It seems to run good,all 2 strokes run a little rough but it idles well and I can rev it up without a hiccup and it seems smooth. I'm doing a bunch of work to it,after I do it all I will see how it runs after I'm done. [/QUOTE]
