I have a problem trying to start this outboard, if I hold the throttle and timing thing forward I can get it to run at high revs - firstly on on cylender (top) and then sometimes on both.
I have changed plugs for new ones, and checked the carby bowl for water, the engine is very smokey when it does run, and leaves a lot of black oil sort of stuff in the water (it does smell a bit like petrol if you get it on your fingers)
I was wondering if it could be the float level, as I am not sure that I didnt move it when I took the bowl off, it seemed veryr easy to bend, could someone assist with the setting for the float so I can check that I didnt move it.
any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated
thanks
