Re: Complete Amateur Needs Help…

Another item not mentioned yet is that most all outboards will have a throttle position, somewhere above a fast idle, where the motor will "miss" a bit and run rough. Best to run above or below this spot if you can. This is a throttle position where the carb is switching over from running primarily on the low speed jet to the high speed jet, and is kind of an in between thing where the air/fuel mixture is not right. This is normal.
