I bought a boat with a 1975 25 HP short shaft. I took it out last year for a test run and the motor seemed pretty strong. It really struggled to idle and the low speed mixture knob didnt seem to do anything. I also noticed that it seemed ti be running rich. The spark plugs were pretty dark after a short time and the was a pretty good ring of fuel in the water. At the end of the season I decided to rebuild the carburetor and now it seems worse. I cant keep it running and it even sputters when I open the throttle. There seems to be quite a bit of fuel in the water. Did I miss something putting the carb back together......i also havent messed with the fuel pump.
