Hi guys, first post, and would like to thank you all in advance for the help!
Bought the outboard new, and it has run exclusively in salt water for my 26ft sailboat. Probably has around 125-150 hours total.
It starts easily enough, but will not idle (engine hot or cold) without all the choke or around 20% throttle. Makes it difficult to switch gear with the ominous "clank."
Also, the "tell tale" has very little, if any water coming from it.
This outboard has been flushed after each use and been allowed to shutoff after all fuel burned out.
Thoughts? Advice? Need more info? Thank is advance!
