Finally got my new to me 12ft tinner with 76 15 out this week.
It was a little hard to start at first the bulb takes alot of pumping. It was stalling out while trolling every so often. Then we (my brother in law and I) experienced a drop in piwer yesterday morning. I pulled the plugs to have a look. They were an NGK and not the equivalent to the recommended Champions... there was some gunk on the one bridging the gap and the other was a little oily looking. I picked up a couple of NGK B7HS plugs at a local (to cottage I am at) Johnny dealer and replaced them.
Power restored.
Went out again this morning and after anlbout 30-40seconds running at WOT the motor kind of lurched like a sudden loss of power then shortly there after restored (like someone putting on the brakes at highway speed then speeding back up). From what I have been able to find on it. Seems like a carb clean/restore is needed which is fine as Id planned to do that this winter.
The other thing is when slowing down quickly from a WOT run and the wake catches up with the transom it tends to stall out the motor.
If anyone has any ideas on vause of my two issues would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
