Does this sound like a normal idle to you? Nissan NSF18B2 EF. I did not change the throttle at all during this video: https://youtu.be/qhAWk0u5EHA Had the tiller friction set as high as it could go and the vibration is still enough to turn the motor all the way.
A year ago the boat was running great and then on the lake it started sputtering and sort of revving and going forward and then not revving and slowing down randomly. Managed to get back to the launch and took it to Tohatsu authorized dealer and he said some debris must have gotten caught in fuel line. Had fuel system cleaned and a 100 hour service with carb kit, fuel pump, water pump, etc.
He def fixed something because it was usable after that even though it still wasn't running right. Was leaving a gas slick in the water. Long story short, for an unrelated reason and before I could get it back to the mechanic, had to have trailer and boat towed and it sat with gas (non-ethanol) in the motor for a month.
Then took it back to original mechanic and he said he missed a dry rotted fuel line the first time around and that he wasn't going to charge me cause he should have caught it and that is why it was leaking gas. Said it was fixed and I should be good to go.
But still doesn't seem to be running right to me. Using fresh non ethanol gas, new fuel line to gas tank and bulb and all the new stuff from the 100 hr service. Seems like it should be way smoother and not have that big vibration. I haven't had it in the water since the last repair because I've been doing fiberglass repair on the boat. Do I possibly need to do another carb kit even though I just had one done because it sat with gas in it for a month? Or is there something else obvious I should look into?
