I just purchased this engine, it has 3 carbs on it, I was told it hasn't been ran much in the last two years.
My boat has 20 year old remote controls, I think I have the shifter and throttle cables in the correct positions.
We took the boat out this past weekend for the first time. I did crank it on muffs when I put the engine on my boat. It was a little hard to start and when we idled it down really slow it would idle a little while then die. After running wide open or half wide open, when we would slow down and go to neutral it would take it several seconds to idle back down.
The boat started out running about 32 mph and after we ran it a while it ran 35 when we headed back to the ramp.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank
