Hi everyone
last season my boat would die everytime I put it in the water, a freind who had his own shop in the past said the carb needed rebuilt. I rebuilt the carb and still having same issues of it not wanting to idle at a reasonable RPM. If I hold the throttle at around 1000 to 1200 RPM it will run but when I try to slow the motor to idle (which I know sould be around 550 to 600 RPM) it stalls out. I am hard of hearing so when i am at the helm I do not hear anything out of the ordinary but when I get by the motor it sounds like it is sucking major air somewhere. is there any way to determine if there is a gasket leaking without tearing everything apart ? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Wallace
