Yes I replaced the plastic nozzle well with a new one for 6-8HP as these are available and look identical to me,you have to take high speed jet from the old one and screw it in new as they dont come with one,,different part # but Im sure it`s the same.My little original hose off it was thin wall black and looked good.The OMC repair kit had a new one,black,very heavy wall hose and with tiny hole was bugger to get on.

I did mess with the little allen screw because I somehow broke then cam follower and had to order a new one.I did the link&synch by making sure the throttle didn`t open and till the mark on plastic thingie was lined up.To do this I had to adjust the ball on the throttle cable and move it quite a bit
.New Autolite plugs.
I do hear some difference when I adjust slow speed jet,when I lean it up it starts to sound better,but then it wants to die and won`t restart without choke,so I richen it up till it starts easily warm or cold.
I think your on to something with the engine not getting to operating temp,as the water out of the pee hole never gets over luke warm wide open.Could I have stuck thermostat?Is this common?
Again it does better in mid range since adjusted the synch and soaked carb and runs like scalded dog moving my 1543 jon 21mph with 2 people.
Again thanks!
