125hp Force HELP!!!

On The Edge · 07-30-2004, 09:14 AM

Hi All

I have a 1988 force 125hp outboard engine that seems to be running extremely rich. If I let it idle for more than 2 -3 minutes it seems to fill up.
when I put it into gear I have to go past the idle point to keep it from stalling.
It runs awful all the way up to 1/2 throttle and when I give it full throttle it seems to clean it's self up after a minute or two. I have had all the test done on it compression, spark and timing all come back good. I am order parts to rebuild the carbs to see if this works but I was wondering if anyone has anyother ideas on what I could do to make the Ole girl run right, by the way getting rid of it isn't a option here.

Thanx for your help
