Fixing an outboard that stalls at idle

In this video I tune an outboard to stop it stalling and idle. This mostly involves setting the idle mixture screw and idle speed screw.

It's very therapeutic sitting at work, watching Stu working and explaining. Almost feels like I'm there doing it with him.

Great info Stu. Premix at the pump, that's awesome. Wish we had that in the states.

Stu, Good to see the content coming…. I haven’t owned a boat since my early teens but at 57 I’m still interested to learn something that I don’t need or Will ever put into practice…..great stuff mate.

Always impressed with your high-wire performances, working on outboards while they're hanging over the water...

Hey Stu, I miss this type of content please make more. Love all that you do.

Videos like this are why I started watching you. Thanks Stu.

As a new boat owner, with a very old 1985 Johnson 100 hp two cycle outboard, I have found your videos very informative and easy to understand, even if the fix requires more skill that I currently have. Thank you very much and keep them coming as I love learning!!!!

Love these outboard videos. I had the same problem with my 2003 Yamaha 115 4 stroke. Three trips to a good marina couldn't solve it. I finally swapped out the IAC valve. It cost $40, took five minutes to swap, and fixed the issue of stalling at low idle.

Hi Stu, been watching your channel for several years now. You’ve given me the ambition to fix a 2000 merc 25 2-stroke that has been non running since 2014. Ive replaced everything in the ignition system sans the coils but all she does is back fire, its been a head scratcher. I’ll be looking through more of your videos for additional guidance. Hoping she doesn’t end up as a hung cowl in my garage.

The fact that your dock had pre-mix at the pump, blew my mind! Land locked here in Colorado (US) and have to mix all my fuel.

Hello Stu, St. Catharines Canada here. Just found your YTube site. Watched the first bit, , , ehh , , maybe later. I don't own a boat anymore. Old age pension is to tiny. BUT ! Then I heard " Thinking Juice " ! ! You got a new subscriber brother.

Hey Stu, what a perfect day for messing around with boats. That water was nearly like glass. Not bad for a near mid winter day close to Sydney. Ya wouldn't be dead for quids mate. Good content, well explained and common sense narration. Well done mate and thanks for the effort. Greatly appreciated.

Wow, have not seen an HP calculator in a long time.
RPN for the win.

Hi Stu, just watched and must say good to see you going over the basics on small 2 stroke motors. Allot of folks don't know much about these. Things like having the pump ball point with the arrow up. There is a check valve in it and once full insures there is no air in the line. Different fuel/oil mix requirements like 50:1, 24:1 and for the vintage 40's motors 16:1. Having the owners manual and a service manual if your doing more than the basics is a must. Good to see you doing these videos. Tim

Love these 2 stroke small outboard videos, this is what i stumbled upon awhile back and subscribed to you channel

[marknichols]

Glad to see ya back in the saddle. I'm looking forward to more with you and Adrian working on that "new" boat. Being a long-term user of of HP products, I was happy to see you RPN'ing with that calculator.

This vid came as if ordered. I am having this exact issue on a 40 Suzuki, have a much better understanding now to sort it out.
