I havnt had a chance to get the engine to water to test it yet (off site). But you are right about oil.
Clearly its trying to add some oil to a likely flooded engine, but not sure why the oil pump was working until it fires up, or does it add oil prior to firing up? Lastly where is the oil...
What Im asking is, the backfire type POP that blew the oil flap on the engine cover up, could this have caused catstrophic damage to the cylinder? Or is it more likely old fuel just eventually igniting?
Im a bit wary to fire it up with fresh fuel if its damaged. Sadly I dont have the tools to...
Cheers, what worries me is why was there so much oil going into the sea water? I realise now I should have pushed the key. It says maximum 5 seconds. But I held it more like 9 seconds a couple of times, I hope I havnt damaged the starter motor?
also, what would have caused the mini...
You reckon its needs knew ones? They were knew as has just been serviced. But if blooding ruins them Im happy to buy new ones. I dont have a gapper either. What is the best way to clean plugs?
So with the tilt switch do you mean tilt it toward me, ie leg up? Its been sitting like this a couple of days now. The hose is disconnected from the tote tank, is there a way to remove the fuel that will be in the fuel line and squeeze bulb? Poke the ball with a sqewer so it leaks out?
What...
awesome, which model do you have?
This is exactly what happened, it got flooded and more flooded until a little backfire sound which is when I gave up. Im not sure what that backfire sound was but it gave me a scare.
So I didnt have the choke in like you have said and I was using old fuel, no...
Cheers, I tried holding the key but didnt havt it pushed in and I didnt have the neutral idler up either.
Its clearing the engine of the old petrol difficult? Will removing the spark plugs help dry it up?
Trick for old players ;-p.
This wiki suggests best way to refresh is to add new petrol at ratio of 1:3, however it still wont be as good as fresh petrol on it own. But also states fuel can last up to one year if stored correctly and 3-6 months if stored correctly, it mentions dependent on what I...
I guess what I did wrong was not push the key in when turning it over, so there would have been a lot of oil and little gas?
But also with the mercury should I set that neutral idle speed to a little bit raised too?
briliant. I had no idea key in was for choke, so in neutral the lever should raise the revs or it lets me push the throttle stick forward while keeping it in reverse?
We primed the engine until firm, it started over once, then just started backfiring and pushing oil/petrol out the carb overflow...
Yeh my Yammy does, that is what I'd like to know as I do not have an operators manual. What position should the throttle be in neutral? and is there a button like the yammy to press, that lets you increase the revs in neutral with the throttle stick?
Is the level at the front a choke? and what...
50hp Lightning XR, which I got a few months ago whic had been serviced just before I got it by one of the best locals, people bring ther boats from far and wide to him. Hut havnt used since I got it a few months back. It came with two 20L totes, however the one I started with trying today...
I want to stick with Garmin, the difference is the old system uses bluecharts, newer Garmins can take navionics.
Is there any way to connect a new garmin to a laptop or iPad to increase screen size on the cheap?
The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv CHIRP ClearVu Fishfinder with GT20-TM Transducer is...
