Hey Everyone,
Been working on a rehab on my Capri 1750 Bow rider. Going to start soon tearing into the engine to clean things up and have it ready for install before spring. I have a question. Is there any benefit to changing the choke to electric on the carb? I at times have trouble getting it started when first going out. Last time it flooded and took over an hour to get it running. Then on the way back in, when we were in the channel it decided to quit and would not start back up again. Had spark as it would fire but I think too much gas?? I had thought about changing it to electric choke but wasn't sure. We rebuilt the carb last year as well as the fuel pump. It is a older unit (as you can see S/N in my signature) but it is a good engine and drive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dezi
