I have what I think is a 1983 3 cylinder out board engine I bought used.
First the water pump would not work, got that fixed and now can not get it to run right.
When the pump was not working it would start right but not idle with out stopping now can only get it to run at about 1/2 throttle, pull it down to idle and it will quit.
Fuel pump working, Has good spark
tried playing with the idle screw with no success.
Could a bad reed be the problem.
Thanks in advance
