Thanks for the generous offer Yanni. I'd be grateful for
any info you have the time to pass along. I'm not a mechanic
but can do most anything once I figure out what things are what.
it's a 10 horse Suzuki 4 stroke FWIW.
Happy sailing,

You can not spray carb cleaner in to clean the carb. that way goes in
the combustion chamber.
You must the carb apart and remove the needle by taking the pin off
the float and the you can deep
it in whatever you want to clean the jets. You can use lacquer thinner
too.
Just make sure the seat of the needle is not rubber. otherwise it will
be swollen and destroyed.
WD-40 will destroy rubber too. Get a carburator kit from you r local
shop and email me off list as
to how to do it and how to adjust the settings.
The choke is merely a restrictor of air flow.

One thing you can try, spray in carb cleaner, and at full throttle,
hit the choke a few times, might blow out the gunk.
