I have a 2009 BF8 that won't idle properly, never has as I recall. I like to use my boat for trolling, beachcombing logs, and to generate electricity when running my electric trap puller. I can never get it to idle where I want it to.It either stalls out or runs up to where it sounds like it is going to fly apart.Sometimes when it stalls it restarts with a slick of carbon on the water. When I'm running at speed it generally works fine. It is a canadian model and the idle screw is set to self destruct if you try to adjust it (small movement ok).I've been running small hondas for years and never had anything like this.Any suggestions other than an expensive anchor?
