Ok here is what I got , I bought a 18 foot wellcraft with a bad motor , so I took my evinrude xp 150 off my 21 ft sabre and installed on the wellcraft and have been having hell ever sense ... Ok so i mounted the outboard on the transom , I also did a new water impeller kit , and took the carbs off and rebuilt them and cleaned them out really good , I had to keep pulling them off because they kept leaking when I tried to prime the system ... So it took me 3 times of taking apart and adjusting the floats to get them to stop leaking while running and when i primed the fuel system , I also had to change the bowl on the middle because the old plastic one was warped a little , so i still have two with plastic bowls and one with the metal style bowl. I also changed every fuel line possible from the tank to the motor and off the fuel rail . The only one that I did not change was the prefab 90 degree hose but it looked really good inside . Ok I put everything back together and clean it up and head to the boat ramp , as I start it , she fired right up so i took the cowl off and I see fuel seeping again , so i shut her down and took back to the house and removed carbs again and adjusted 1 more time , as i put all back together and head back to lake I drop her in the water and crank little hard to start because the carbs were dry , but finally cranked up , I noticed a lot a very very lot of smoke never seen her smoke like that before , but no fuel leaks out of carbs , so i head out on the lake just putting around for about 15 mins , I shut the motor off and let it sit for a bit when i shut the motor off I seen a little steam coming out of the pee hole , that.concerned me I touched the heads and it wasn't extreamly hot but a little warm didn't take the skin off my hands , I've never noticed steam out of the peeps hole though not that I've payed attention... It was pumping water fine , so I let it sit for a bit just in case , then I cranked her up about 20 mins later and wanted to get into my throttle ... I started out with ease cruzing and then i nailed it and it fell right on its face sputtering and hesitant could not even get it to plane out . I've tried several time to get it to get up and go , tried pumping fuel by the bulb and no change . I'm lost with no direction right now , and the wife is pissed I have all this money in my new project and she still can't go catch a fish yet lol.. please help if you have any thing I can test or check out I refuse to take it to a shop in Houston Texas and get butt raped ... So my issues are
1. Did a motor swap
2. Rebuilt carbs
3. Had a hard time to get the floats right to stop pouring fuel out of carbs.
4. Seen some steam out of per hole after having good water flow and running for about 15 mins at low idle .
5.any thing more than half throttle it falls flat on its face no power ,no response ,choking out, bogging down,sputtering ,shaking no power at all.
And test or checks I can do would be very helpful and keep me out of trouble with the wife lol... Thanks guys !!!
Ps... I mix my fuel also .
