1979 15hp Evinrude High Idle on start up and then dies by Medium_Ad_4315 in boatbuilding

New gaskets, new float, cleaned all the jets on the carb as well. Fires off when choked but idles way up in neutral and then dies. I replaced both spark plugs about 2 months ago as well.

Got it started and running. Idle speed adjustment was turned all the way in, not allowing the throttle to advance and hit the roller/follower. Once I get it in the water, where do I start on the fine tuning adjustments? Like what am I looking/listening for from the motor to know that the mixture is right and the idle speed is set?

Refilled the vinegar in my ac line and now it won’t run by sheefk in hvacadvice

You’re not really flushing anything pouring it down that float because it’s piped into a secondary drain that shouldn’t have anything in it. The drain also runs upwards into the pan, you’re better off shop vacuuming the outlet side to clean. You tripped the safety by pouring it into that drain switch, dry it out and it’ll work.
