quote davesko:

It does start very easily and idles well. When I put it in gear it dies after about 30 seconds unless I up the throttle. Before I put it on the boat and adjusted the high speed it didn’t do this. If I richin the high speed it will run in gear. I was so taken back by the low compression that maybe I just need to go thru the carb again and don’t worry about the compression?

Maybe we aren’t understanding the problem. So, it dies after 30 seconds when you put it in gear, right? Not immediately, right? But it will run at high speed if you set the high speed richer, right? Sounds like a carburetor or fuel supply issue
