[QUOTE="seed_81, post: 471233, member: 25379"] Thanks for the input Pappy I think I've got it idling like it should now. One more question. I've been told to remove the fuel line and let it idle until it dies before taking it off the water. Apparently this is to burn all fuel in the engine to prevent from sitting in the carburetor, fuel lines, etc and gumming up everything. I'm using ethanol free fuel but wanted to get your thoughts on doing this. When I do this sneezes a bit as it runs out of fuel. I assume this is b/c it's sucking more air as it idles down. Is this hard on the engine? [/QUOTE]
