To start off I am a newbie when it comes to outboards so please correct me if anything I am saying doesn't sound right.
I recently purchased a boat that came with a 2003 Honda BF8D. It starts right up first or second pull with the choke pulled out, however it stalls out when the choke is pushed in unless I am giving it some throttle. I did some research and this sounds like a common issue with these little outboards. Mostly what I am seeing online is that the carburetor and or the idle jet screw need to be cleaned. I have no experience cleaning carburetors and can't find where this idle jet screw is located.
I attached some images of my motor, if anyone is familiar with this could you help point out where the screw is? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
