Post Engine Idle
Engine has been idling like shit lately. Ran find at WOT. Figured something simple was wrong.
Gas or Air right.
Well after I put up with it all last weekend I went to take the Carb off for alittle cleaning.
Below is what I found before I even got to take the carb off.
Was hiding under Boat Doctors Rain Guard.
I think I would have figured it out sooner or later out fishing. I had a spare boot in the boat just for this.

It'll run wide open cause the motor is pulling the carb up against the adapter by suction, when you let off the throttle the suction goes away and carb starts to seperate causeing horrble idleing, glad you found it though, engine damage down the road for that one.
