Been wondering which tech solution would you guys give to these mayor issues while boating far away from land.
Case 1 : You run a 2 strokes 2 cylinder outbord and one cylinder stops working due to a faulty Ignition Coil, plug, plug cap/wire or whatever, can you return to terra firme say with remaining working cylinder or to have the least piston dead drag : Remove the faulty cylinder spark plug and return that way, if so, what happens with the fuel excess collecting on that cylinder, will spit out plug hole or will simply drain through exhaust to lower leg ?
Case 2 : During week end found a tree shaded fisherman drifting towards Eaestern Island far away from coast, he couldn't start back his portable OB. Seems that during operation fuel tank air vent closed and run carb dry. The issue is that OB didn't count with a primer bulb as usual, just a direct fuel hose inserted to > internal fuel filter.
In this particular out of one?s mind case how can you fill carb's bowl if counting with "nothing" say tools to remove carb to fill manually, not even a proper container to lift fuel line above carb for fuel to flow by gravity ? He was literally highly screwed up...
Happy Boating
