Yesterday when running it I got my glove between the mag advance lever
and flywheel. Mag then slammed the throttle shut and it was “out of sync”.
I thought it was just the little set screws locks that slide out of whack on
the linkage, but found out today it broke the head off the throttle plate
screw, and the throttle plate was flopping loose inside the carb. Luckily,
the brass head did not make it through the poppet valve!
I put the hand lever on the mag plate advance today, and did not wear gloves, lol.
Running wide open here. It will only start in the water with the drill. Will
rope start when it’s “out of water”. Guessing my 90 psi compression
isn’t quite enough for this little motor. It likes a quick choke to start,
even when warm.

This is about slowest I can get it to idle down
