Carbs rebuit and motor revs on neutral???

make sure choke is not stuck on/closed...

I think my choke is stuck. When I go to choke the boat, nothing happens. It just makes a clicking sound. How do I release it/make it unstuck?

Last week, I test ran the boat with a potential buyer but the boat did not pick up speed like it should. It would stall and after about a minute, the boat kicked into gear and went up to speed like it should. Knowing that, I figured the carbs had to be cleaned since I changed everything else earlier this year. I just rebuilt my 3 carbs a few days ago and after putting everything back, the motor is reving like crazy on start up even though the boat is on neutral. I double checked all the hoses and the linkage cable and everything is where it should be. What can be causing the problem? Please help.

Goota think with a fresh rebuild on the carbs you induced an air leak somewhere. This would cause a lean condition and make it rev and ping on startup.
