[QUOTE="Transplant, post: 500898, member: 23849"] I have an outboard maintenance question for all the fine folks here. I’m running a 90hp Mariner 2 stroke 3 cylinder. I’m patiently waiting for carb kits and a thermostat kit to arrive so I can take everything apart and get everything running at peak efficiency. I am having a minor issue with cold startup, it’s usually taking me a few tries to get the idle up, I’m guessing it’s low fuel. Once warmed up everything is working good. My question is, should I be ordering any other maintenance parts? I’ve read about reed valves being an issue, but I’ve also read that it’s rare for these to be a problem. I’ve seen a few videos of the idle adjustment process and will be following that, are there any other adjustments I should be looking into? Thanks folks! [/QUOTE]
