I have a 1965 Steury 15 ft runabout. She has a 1964 (mid year change) RDSL26S Johnson 40hp Motor. It has spark, and turns over and runs for about 5 seconds then quits. The plugs are new and gapped at .030. New gas and fuel line. Bulb gets firm. The automatic choke seems to be running properly. There is a rich/lean adjustment and a idle adjustment. Not sure where I should be set on those.
I have not checked the fuel pump or carbs. I would like some advise on what I could try that wouldnt put me into overoad, as this is my first time being a boat owner.
I am thinking I am going to have to pay to have the carb redone. I am first going to check out the secret file, but wanted to know if there was something easy I messed from the experts here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
