[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 216840, member: 4627"] On the left side of the motor there is a flat plate. (water box) Pull it off there a good chance it has something stuck in it. I'd check that before I'd try compressed air. Compresions a little low but it's good that it's even on both cylinders. Might need a new set of reeds. The reeds will become warped or the cages will get inperfections so the reeds don't close. I'd buy a set of reeds from Chris Carson Marine, should be around $50 for your motor. He's awsome to deal with and he makes a great set of reeds. I'd make sure to lap the reed cages too to make sure they're flat. Reeds not sealing up will make a diffrence in idle and start up. That's what I'd do. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
