Howdy all,
I picked up an late 70s vintage johnyrude 85 a few months back to use on my languishing boat project. When I was getting ready to pull the lower unit (this one came right off
) I was messing with the carb linkage for kicks. I noticed the linkage was moving free but it hardly moved the butterflies on the carbs. The previous owner said he was into the carbs to degunk them and after that it'd die off idle. I'm wondering if maybe something is backwards with the linkage that might be causing the problem. Or maybe I'm just a stupid dummy head looking past something and all is well. The carbs are off right now but I was hoping to go through them and put it all back together tomorrow. So I made a little video before I took it apart, I was hoping would explain it to those who are much more knowledgeable about outboards than I am.
Thanks a bunch
Travis
