I lent my boat to my friend about a month ago, and now it wont run right. The motor will now start up but when you put it in gear it will stall out. The only way to get moving is to rev it up in Neutral and then quickly pop it in gear. Sometimes it takes off sometimes it stalls out and bogs. Also when you do get it running it will cough and sputter.
I started the boat today in a barrel in the driveway and after running it for a few minutes I noticed that the barrel had a ton of black oil in the water and all over the side of the barrel.
I have always ran 100 to 1 as my oil mixture. It seems that my friend may have been using 50 to 1.
My thoughts are that the motor could be way to rich and this could be why its not running right, or possibly the high speed jet is clogged. I drained the carb fuel bowl today and it had some particles in it but not to much.
Any thoughts???
Can I remove the high speed jet with the carb still on the motor???
