Default fuel/oil mixture - 1973 evinrude

om...

At the advice of an OMC tech who used to post here, I started using
high test in my 1973 135 Evinrude, and it made a hell of a difference.
I had trouble getting the thing to idle smoothly in gear. I rebuilt
the carbs, did a link and sync, etc. The high test instantly cured my
idle problem, and ran great at wot.



Were you lying then, or lying now?
A quote from you to jog your memory:
"Thanks, Dave, it's a 1973 135hp. You may remember me. The thing
STILL won't idle in gear correctly. The plug wires seem to be a
little brittle, and cracked. Did the decarbonizing, works a
little better, running 93 octane, etc."http://tinyurl.com/ytq4t
