Thank all of you for your Ideas on my engine problem. I will try some of them my self. well Newport Boats in So Cal had my boat for 8 weeks to fix a "will not idle problem" and today said they did not know what was wrong! so i'll pick it up this saturday. Seemed simple enough to me, boat sat for 1 year started fine but would not idle, seems like a carb problem. I took it to them only because linkage looked to touch to take apart and reassemble when performing a carb(s) over haul. Any more ideas would be helpfull Thanks again
