Re: 85 hp chrysler

Start with checking the compression and spark.The recirc system won't make that much difference in the way it runs.That's just for using unburned fuel.
Check the fuel pump for a bad diaphram.
Then the idle in gear/warm should be about 750-800 rpm.
1st post in the Force section is a linc and sinc by FrankA.Do as he suggests.Then reset the air screws.All the way in and out 1 and 1/16th turn out. Then motor running,warm and in gear.Turn the air screw in till it makes the motor buck.cough.stutter or stall.Then out 1/2 turn.
Do this twice.Then reset the idle.J

If you have 150 psi on all 3, spark on all 3, you've checked the reeds... its got to be a carb/fuel issue I would think. Double check the floats maybe? You could even swap the carbs around. Timing is worth a good look also, must have/borrow a timing light. Read about "static timing" to driveway tune. Does it start up easily?

#2 runs the fuel pump.You check that?
Have the carbs been cleaned latley?Maybe the floats need adjusting.The needles are clogged.
Check for water in the gas?
All three plugs burning right?
