60hp 1990
I discovered cracked pick up tubes which I believe resulted in the problems I had trying to get the motor to idle.
I had an old set of 70 hp carbs which I threw on in their place and WOOHOO! problem solved it idled great on muffs.
Off down to the river , put her in and Yes ! it idled there too... so after letting it warm up, i went for a spin, but once on a plane at wot it flat flat on it's face, and started surging, time and time again....
Drove home and this evening I pulled off the carbs to double check that the high speed jets were clean. CArbs are spotless, went to start up the motor and the darn thing now won't even idle!!!
it'll start, go for 5 secs and then quit! I didn't change any other settings at all, why won't the thing idle now??? it would yesterday!!
One prob leads to another , to another,
I've good comp, spark. I've a brand new p/p which was a result of another issue.
I'm thinking fuel pump as all the lines were replaced not too long ago either.
Any ideas folks??
