Re: boat won't run right
needhelp,<br /><br />More than likely you are running on only one cylinder. Or, one cylinder is doing most of the work.<br /><br />Remove the spoark plugs and examine them. They will probably not look the same.<br /><br />If one is wet and oily, the other dry, you may have an ignition problem on the wet cylinder.<br /><br />On the other hand, you may have a carburetor problem on the dry one.<br /><br />The easiest way to check for an ignition problemn is:<br /><br />1. Start the engine on the "muffs".<br /><br />2. Remove one spark wire at a time. Does one "kill" the engine? If so, that's the one that is working. Does the other one have spark at all? If not, you have a problkem with that one. More than likely a coil. Switch the coils around and see if that changes which cylinder is working.<br /><br />If you have good spark on both, you more than likely have a clogged carburetor jet. That will require a COMPLETE dismantling of the carbs. for cleaning and installation of new carb. kits.
