Could this be why when it started,it would run at about 1000-1200 rpms.and it was not under a load. I am going to take it to the boat ramp before I start it again so it will be under a load in the water. then I can control the speed of the engine.wonder why a rebuilt engine like this not idle,where as an outboard that has a lot of time on it will idle on muffs real slow.It has to be because of the new rings,and jugs I would think but I dont Know...I think taking it to the boat ramp will tell wether or not I done it right...Fingers crossed....and thank you ppl for your help...
