My 1987 Evinrude V6 craps out at low idle - usually when I'm trying to dock it. Is this fouled carburator? How hard to clean carbs myself? Can I buy a kit?

Not likely to be a carb, Gene. <br /><br />There are three, and you should be able to dock easily on 4 cylinders if one was bad.<br /><br />More likely, you simply need a tune up, including a "link and synch" procedure to set idle speed and synchronize the throttle to the ignition timing.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Thanks for the input, JB. I'll get a tune-up and a "link&synch". Gene Dolan
