Hi all, <br /><br />I have this kicker motor, its a 6HP early/mid seventies Chrysler, its in fantastic condition, and starts first pull nearly every time.<br /><br />Problem is that after cleaning the carby out,, (it was clogged up with gummed up fuel when I got it.) the moter doesnt' rev correctly (it bogs down if you don't work it up slowly) and randomly misses or backfires at low revs.. <br /><br />I was told by the outboard mechanic here that it just needed the throttle linkage adjusted (it uses a lever to the stator to control the carb and advance apparantly. and he was completely sure that was the problem)<br /><br />Anyway, he couldnt' do it then and he told me to keep calling back and he'd fit me in.. but I am getting sick of waiting...<br /><br />Does anyone know a method of setting this up correctly?<br /><br />Also, I use this motor on a much bigger boat than its used to, and I think I need to change the prob for one that will put less load on the motor,, how do you chose the rigth size kicker prop?<br /><br /><br />kindest regards<br /><br /><br />Frank<br />Perth WA.
