    Other commentary…. I think I now understand how the cam roller works with the throttle. I don’t have a indicator band on the handle so hard to know “where” start is supposed to be, but I did look thru a book I bought of “cheap outboards” which has a good diagram/explanation of this…. currently by the time the roller hits the indicator the throttle plate inside the carb has already moved a bit, and not the book explanation of that the roller should be at indicator when the slack in the linkage just starts to turn the carb plate open.

    So, sounds like the carb is opening a little sooner than expected at the indicator, any ideas how this would make the motor behave at this timing? Would adjusting it back some make it idle even better?
