[QUOTE="richard.rousseau, post: 497212, member: 25171"] Good morning group, I purchased a Johnson/Sea horse 87's outboard motor and have already done some maintenance such as replacing the impeller and cleaning the carburetor. After reassembling it, I placed the NEEDLE VALVE at +/-1 turn. Is this the right fit? I searched the service manual for specs on the site (in manuals section), but nothing works. :-( The engine starts fine, but it coughs while doing POOF! and he smokes. Do you have an idea to solve this problem? Should I check the throttle or the needle? Thanks in advance for your advice. By the way, I attempted to write to [email]admin@tinboats.net[/email] to identify the manual availability issue, but the "domain could not be found". I also have a manual to share: June 1998 edition: SERVICE MANUAL Mercury Outboard 20_25. Thank you, Richard :) [/QUOTE]
