Head, intake manifold, carb and distributor was off in early spring to retrieve a broken exhaust manifold bolt. All was reassembled seeming without incident and after adjusting the timing and idle, the engine is hunting at at idle btwn 700 and 760rpm. The carb gasket is new and there are no visible issues with the intake manifold gaskets. I didn't touch the mixture screws at the front of the carb (original Rochester 4BBL).
Engine runs fine other wise, although I have not run the boat in gear much yet - only from the sling to the slip.
Any ideas?
