Some time ago (can't find the thread and don't see a search bar) I asked why my Tohatsu 9.8 newer model, runs then dies.I was advised to clean the carb. Did this 3 times. No go. Finally ordered a rebuild kit. Started and runs, but only at 1000 rpms to the best of my guesstimate, however as soon as I lower the idle by backing out the idle adjustment screw, it dies. As soon as I put it in gear it dies. When I full throttle it, it bogs down.
I was super surprised that the rebuild kit sent the rubber gasket to the bowl folded in half so it was very hard to get to lay down properly, took me 30 minutes of continuously re-laying it into the groove, (actually only a half-groove) before I could place the 2 parts of the carb together, and yes I am sure that it stayed flat.
The other thing that super surprised me was that it came without the 2 end gaskets to the carb; the manifold gasket and the air cleaner gasket. I mean if I'm taking the carb out to rebuild it, am I not putting it back together?
These end gaskets are worn, and my worry is that they are bleeding too much air. Is there another kit which includes these gaskets?
