    No sweat dude
    Glad to help.
    When you set these screws.
    While the boat is on the water hose. Use a pair of insulated pliers. They make some just for spark plug boots.
    Take each plug wire off and see if the motor dies some, then put the wire back up to the plug and make sure it picks back up to make sure it is gettin gas to he cylinder.
    Don't know if you already know this or not.

    Then after runing it check the plugs to see if they are wet and all.

    Later dude.

    Keep staybil marine in the gas at all times
    Every now and then instead of staybil marine put some seafoam in it
    The seafoam will help displace some moisture
    And clean the fuel system
    I like star brite startron too instead of
    Stabil marine

    Run 89 octane gas in it
    Not 87 and not 92
    92 has too much ethanol in it
    The ethanol attracks moisture
    And eats up rubber and fuel pumps
    Remember a boat ain't a sealed fuel system

    We are seeing gas in a tank with no fuel stabilizer
    With the ethanol floating on top of the gas
    Good luck
    I like the new evinrude etec
    And merc new 2 stroke over Yamaha

    yep had an etec on the bass boat hauld ass . and a johnson on the flats boat thay were pretty good. i like the new merc my buddy has them on his boat like all the fail safes on them and the throttle by wire has been good for him as far as being dependable.

    Honda is expensive for parts and to work on
    You need to make sure you have a dealer close to you

    If your valves goes bad on a Honda
    It's cheaper to replace the engine

    2 stroke fuel injected is the way to go

    I work on Boat motors. I hear customers talk about how much it cost to get what done when they take their boat motors in.
    We also buy from Wholesale houses, they tell us how much it cost to do what on what motors.
    Honda , and yamaha motors cost more to work on.
    4 stroke motors n general cost more to do work on.
    We work on some 4 strokes till it gets to the part you need a computer.
    The dealer only can git them.
