Re: Reverse dies???? SOS
OK, that's a good start! Checking reeds may not be a bad idea, but only because the carbs are off anyway. Do you know if they are metal or composite? Do you have any other symptoms (how does it run at WOT). If you are sure you are getting spark on all three I would give the carbs a good cleaning like you are doing(someone posted on another thread that a set of guitar strings from walmart do a great job of getting into all the little passages) then reinstall and reset everything to factory settings. Do the cam position at idle, idle mixture out one turn from lightly seated, and idle speed screw. Then (assuming it runs on the muffs) put it in the water and tie up tight to a sturdy dock thats out of the way. Put the boat in gear at idle. Adjust the mixture on the carbs first and when you get that right set your idle screw so that it is at 750-800 rpm (again, while in gear). Hopefully this will solve your problem
