Need help. Engine starts, runs approximatly 5-10 seconds, stalls and gas comes out of the carbureator.
Flooding? Carbureator rebuild?

Thanks

Flooding for sure. Carb cleaning and re-build is fairly easy job and a good place to start. It might pay to look at the plugs and check the compression to.

Thanks. New plugs installed. Will do Carb rebuild/clean and compression check. Any idea where I may find a rebuilt kit online? Compression specs?

HI ruduy1. Welcome to iboats. I used to have the exact same motor. Sounds like flooding for sure. No worries. It's an easy fix. Here are some links that can walk you through the whole job and a link for the carb kit itself. You can get it right here at iboats or order it from your local NAPA autoparts store. If it's not in stock they can ususaly have it by the next day for free. Here you go. Keep us posted.

Compression numbers don't really mean to much. I would guess your numbers are around 80 to 90 psi each but as long as they are within 8 to 10 lbs of each other, it's fine.
