I just had my Wellcraft 20' put in the water two weeks ago. Died on me after about four miles from bad gas (my diagnosis). I sprayed the carbs, got 93 octane and ran it off of a five gallon gas can with a bottle of carb cleaner and she ran fine. I had her out flounder fishing a week ago and she ran great. Two days ago I go down to the marina to start her up and let her run a bit and i notice fuel rising to the surface from the exhaust. Now I know there could be a couple of things going one here. My gut feeling is she's running too rich due to a mistaken turning of the jet screw on the lower carb when she came out of winterization. My question is would this cause the gas out of the exhaust and second is any one know how to adjust the jet screw? I don't want to over adjust and have it run lean (a worse condition)
Thanks for any assistance. I'm the occasional weekend mechanic so I don't have all that much knowledge....enough to get in trouble I guess....just cant afford the marine mechanics!
