Not owned long.
Have gone through cooling system. Replaced pump, thermostats, and rebuilt poppet valve. No visable corrosion in looking inside. Good flow from the pisser. Engine temp remains steady at about 160 degrees.
Starts easy. Will run fine doing about 20 knots all day long. If I go WOT, will run like a scalded dawg for about a minute, then shuts down. Have to wait about 15 minutes then it will fire back up. Before then, I'll just get a "click" out of the solendoid for about 10 minutes, then the starter will engage for one turn. Wait a little longer, everything is fine. Water temp does not rise.
I did find a leaking fuel line to the top carb. I have a fuel pump rebuild kit. Fuel tank bulb remains firm.
Am considering removing oil injection and going to a 50:1 mix.
The down & dirty. Picked up the boat cheap. Would like to get a "little" life out of it. Can't afford a powerhead or new engine right now.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
