After spending hours and hours reading all these posts. I have seen reference to a symptom called 4 stroking. I can only assume that it means the engine is only firing every other stroke of the piston like a car. If this is true, what would cause it and how would one check for this and fix it.<br /><br />Thanks All<br />Smitty<br />55EL76S Johnson

Re: 4 stroking?

Four stroking, or 4 cycling is caused by an over-rich mixture, Smitty.<br /><br />The engine lacks power, makes a burbling sound and smokes a lot.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
