    Just a quick question – is the thermostat in place? I had a 1991 70 that I rebuild a couple years ago. The stat had been removed at some point. Motor would NOT idle at all, sneezing, etc., like you’d just started it, even after it had been run awhile. I installed the kit, with updates, and it idled perfectly.

    Also, regarding the motor depth, any chance the ol’ Whaler is a bit waterlogged?
