The frustration continues. I am now at the lake for a weeks vacation. I got here Saturday, and when we dropped the boat in the water, it would crank, but would not start. That was new. I thought it was all set when we left home. So, back on the trailer. It occurred to me that this must now be an electrical problem. So, yesterday, I replaced all the spade connectors on the terminal block on the starboard side of the engine block. I put the boat in the water this morning, and it fired right off, so electrical problem perhaps fixed. I had not been able to run the boat since the last time I adjusted the air mixture screws, so I took the air horn off and set them while running. It would now idle very steady, and I had high hopes of the boat running as it should. We idled out beyond the buoys and hit the throttle. It started off ok, but in about 5 second sputtered to a stop. I just can't get it to run in gear at much above idle, so we idled back to the dock and I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon pouting. Of course, none of the service shops here at the lake can look at it until a week from tomorrow. Anyone want to buy a boat?
