Re: engine tuner or re-build???
Interesting stuff, boyseen makes power reeds for outboards. (I'm not sure about my model) Though these 9.9 and 15's haven't changed much at all over the years. Though 45 psi of comp. It feels like more, but I guess I don't know what a fresh pullstart outboard feels like.<br /><br />I haven't done any water trials yet. I'm working on my aluminum boat. It idles fine ( I played with the mixture a bit to hopefully stop it from missing) and small amounts of power (in a garbage can) are handled. Though, I worry that it will suck at WOT. And that's where most of the power is anyway.<br /><br />Thanks a bunch.<br /><br />I'll try the sea foam stuff. There's some pretty nasty non metalic eating stuff in there, but I guess it is designed for the marine industry anyway. (Gee, it oughta make my backyard pretty blue and black!)<br /><br />I also have heard that the newer thermostats are made better. Possibly if they produced one that when it failed, it stayed in the open position, that would be a boat saver.
