I have one of the 115. Been ok.

Sooooo yours hasn't had the extreme shakes/vibration at low rpm that I
described?
To be fair, the one I've used isn't a typical use outboard. It's a
yacht club chase boat (used mainly for teaching sailing as well as
race committee work) and spends most of its life idling in neutral or
idling in gear, then occasionally blasting off full tilt boogie for a
mile or two, then idling in neutral again for the longest. Also gets
pressed into service for towing on occasion. Maybe that explains why a
tune up just doesn't last more than one outing before it starts
shakin' the bejeebees outta the boat and passengers again.

Thanks to all up the thread for the responses though. I had been told
it was a fuel saving measure. I never did buy that one. Makes more
sense to me now.
