I have the above mentioned motor and am having a problem getting it to troll at low rpm's. It basically wont stay running in the slow area. When I got it I had to replace the head gasket. It has very good compression. Pulled the carb and checked it out. Blew out all orifices and reset the the float. It is in very clean condition. It fires right off and pushes my 12'er excellent at middle to high rpms. Runs like a champ. Mixing gas at 50/1. Gonna pull the top and look at the points. One thing it does at the lowest it will troll is occasionally will make a metallic sound like a gear skip. Backfire? Wondering if Im on the right trail. Water pump great condition and replaced all fuel hoses. Since I troll a lot, would I want to pinch the plug gap a little? Thanks for any info. Cork
