[Rhodes22-list] Outboard Stalling

[ron singerman]

Rick,

Thanks for the advice.  I recently purchased a 2nd 3 gal tank and the motor 
has been running poorly at idle since I connected it.  I went out this AM 
and checked the vent on the new tank.  It appears that my replacement vent 
screw requires complete removal in contrast to the Tohatsu tank.  Guess 
what?  It idles beautifully  now. Thanks again and thanks to the forum.

Fair winds,
