Hey Guys...First off thanks for any advice, I took the carbs off today and in the bottom motor port that the carb bolts too, something was in there. It looked like a round hollow cylinder like piece about one inch long and it was brown and frail like it had been in gas for a while. I am having problems with keeping my motor running, it will start up but will die in about 30 seconds or less unless I push the key in to choke it. I don't believe its the fuel line because I replaced it. My next option was the carbs since my motor had been sitting for a while and I did not properly store it. do you think my carbs being gummed up could cause the motor to die like it is. Also last time I took the boat out it had a problem with speed and rpms. seemed like it was towing a log behind it. It was only about half as powerful as before. Do you guys think this unknown object in the bottom of the motor could have caused that. I got it out but I still have no idea what it was. Any ideas? Thanks a lot guys.
