I pulled plugs after that run and it didn't appear to be running lean. Atleast not for long enough periods for the plugs to show.
Not sure what to look for though on the floats. One did kinda "catch" when I popped the bowls and made sure all was clean. But it was okay once I shot some cleaner...
No idea. I went through those carbs several times. Honestly? Those carbs weren't supplying enough fuel on the idle/transition. Drilling the jets on the top carb did improve it, but wasn't happy with it. Something was wrong on those idle circuits.
Well I'll say it seemed smoother on the top end. But these like i say have some float issues? Sometimes you'll hear the rpm bog and hitting the key for the primer it picks right back up. It'll also do the same if you swing a turn to hard. But both sets wide open ran out about 39-40mph.
So I've been away a bit. But I decided to swap the later 140 carbs on. Smaller bore carbs but from a 82or 83 140. Fixed ALOT of the issue's idles good. Runs strong. No bogs off idle etc. They do have some float issues. One of them was going from hanging shut and me having to hold the...
Havent had much time to mess with it, but i should look back into the ignitiontiming. Been cold here. Did get the parts engine in the garage and pulled the head that included the bad piston. Is that head salvagable?
So yeah I did set both blades fully closed at idle. And atleast watching them they do appear to be opening at the same time. As far as the timing side goes I'm not familiar enough with it to know where all that needs to be set. Im familiar with timing in the automotive sense. Small blocks...
Ive been through them a few times haha, But yes I've been needing a reason to buy a Ultrasonic cleaner. Ive shot cleaner every direction possible and its all flowing. Surprisingly simple carbs really. No adjustments other than the throttle blades.
Bass fishing i do alot of spot hopping. And...
Its runs fine at WOT. It just struggles to go between idle and WOT. Say I'm sitting idling and want to go to part throttle for any reason. Or loading on the trailer. Or if I'm idling and go to blast off the motor just falls on its face and stalls.
But if i hold the choke and let it load up...
First time i used the kits the fella i got the boat from gave me. aftermarkets. I later used OEM kits and that helped alot. New welch plugs and alittle sealer. Currently It'll fire right up. Idles good.
Now what happens MOST of the time now is the engine really struggles to transition idle and...
You sir hit the nail on the heads. So after a couple trips it's done decent. Still has some issue just falling on its face when you punch it from idle. I decided to recheck compression with a new tester. Got right at 115 on each cylinder. Thought the slight increase was interesting but I...
