Tks much. Tomorrow I will remove slow speed needle ,double check end of it.And repack with OMC parts. Then try starting at 1 1/2 turns out.
I will check if throttle plate closes completely. This is a new idea for me to check.
I will look at throttle cam . But will have to figure out how to make any adjustments. I suppose it is just logical.
The marks on the housing indicating at what number the adjustment needles are set at, are missing ,or I just can’t see them. So it’s hard for me to report that .
This motor is new to me. I have never heard it run until now. It has been stored lying down on a pallet in a heated warehouse for over 30 years. Looks like it was well stored as it was perfectly clean , the carb had not a single speck of dirt and was bright and shiny inside and out. The carb cleaner blasted thru every passage and hole. I did not remove plugs. Coils were cracked so I replaced them, spark plug wires and plugs. They are both sparking on my tester. New points and condensers. Cleaned gas tank, and fuel line. New gas and oil. 24:1.
It now starts on pull 3 or 4, and will run at fast and moderate rpm quite nicely. It just rattles and dies when I move throttle toward idle.
You are so correct , air silencer is from another site, not Amazon. Currently delayed in transit. So just moving ahead.
