Re: Glastron v153 with johnson 85
sorry forgot to update! Well everything went pretty well, a little spitting and sputtering but we were alright for the most part. We did run into one problem, after being out for the first time (45 mins to an hour) she died. after a few things i opted to use Tow Boat USsince I bought there towing plan and they came out and towed us in. the 2nd time we went previously I dumped seafoam in the tank and into the cylinders and carb to decarbonize the engine and kind of figured it would help the spitting and sputters. also i dumped startron in the tank and to my knowledge the spitting is gone! as for my dieing problem it still remains. It seems like after 300 minutes it dies. I will be going full throttle and its as if i am slowing taking the throttle off slowly and then dies (I'm able to crank but nothing). Then it seems whatever it is after 15 minutes I'm able to start her back up again but the same problem occurs. With Dad and I both working 12 hour days and this latest heat wave not much has gotten done with the boat. Im really thinking its the fuel pump or fuel tanks. I recently found out if it was a coil like I originally thought it wouldn't slowly die, it would be full throttle and shut off. The reason why I thought the fuel tank is because I know they blow up like balloons (damn epa BS and no vents), and stupid me i didn't think to open the cap to release the pressure. With a weekend of relaxing coming up it will be the only time I have for the next 2 weeks. With our fire company carnival all week next week and saturday we have days of working 12's and not leaving the firehouse till 1 AM! I will do the pictures in another post..
