Re: Can not get this 18 running right.

OK, the won’t slow down thing is called run-away. That is caused by revving it up without being under a load. So, I can only conclude you are running it out of the water or in a bucket or something. So…the first thing you need to do is get it on a boat, on the lake, in gear, then adjust it. You can’t adjust it under whatever circumstances you are doing now.

Second thing, the glass bowl will always run nearly empty. Don’t try to explain it, just accept it. Something about capillary action.

The motor very well might be just fine once you run it where it was designed to run. If not, check back.
