Hi all, I have a 185S. I put a new aftermarket carb on it. It starts easily, idles nice, the plug is a nice light brown. The only problem is that when you try to go from idle or slow speed to full throttle it has a flat spot and hesitates. Is this a main jet issue? if so, could someone give me a good starting point for drilling out the jet. Not really sure what size jet is in right now. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Jeff

Sounds like it is in the transition, that you are leaning out. Try raising the jet needle up one notch and see what happens.
