[QUOTE="Bobscreekboy, post: 253099, member: 5408"] I have a 1989 15 hp force that I just bought and I can't get it to idle. After finding some diagrams I learned that it had the wrong spark plugs in it so I got 2 new plugs, started it up, and it idled for a few minutes until I gave it some throttle then it wouldn't idle again. But not only will it not idle, it just runs rough all together. I found that if I run it at like half throttle and wiggle the tiller handle that it will run strong in spurts. It seems that when it quits and I check the plugs they are wet. I've tried playing with the one adjustment screw on the carb but it doesn't help at all. So I'm wondering if it's electrical (which I know nothing at all about) or if it's just getting too much fuel. I can keep it running above an idle but it still runs very rough. Thanks [/QUOTE]
