Hello guys, just want yalls opinion on the way my engine is running. I baught a used 1990 Bayliner with a 90 model 150 HP Force outboard motor on it. I have done a compression test all cylinders turned out normal. The lower unit seals are good. No water in the unit, Under the cowl there are a little sign of gas around the carbs i guess that is normal cause of it being a used boat and a 2stroke. It cranks right up. I checked the plugs they look like they could be changed, but the question i have is. When it idles it idles for a while and then starts breaking up a little and then cuts off, but then you can turn the key over and it cranks right up, is that weird or what. Could someone let me know if i have a problem with the Carbs,. or fuel pump. I am guessing they fuel pump is OK cause it cranks fine, i got to put it on the water i just aunt had the time, maybe it just needs to be run real good. thanks guys later Mitch
