"I have a evinrude 1983 35 hp. It starts fine and idles ok, but when I put it in gear it runs rough until given more rpm's. I would say about 1/4 to 1/3 throttle. Any ideas?"
 
"I adjusted the ss valve per i

"I adjusted the ss valve per instructions and it ran smooth when I put it in gear, but when I pushed the throttle forward it killed the engine. So I put the ss valve back where it was (about 4 turns out)and I had the same original problem (runs rough in gear at slow speed and smooth at higher speeds). Will it hurt anything to run it like this? It has not fouled any spark plugs."
