i recently ran into a seemingly great buy on a boat without an ingine. it is an older center console that i would like to rebuild and put my evinrude on it. anyway, the boat has a large (3ft. X 2 ft.) soft spot, right behind the driver seat. the hull is fine as well as the transom. i was...
my boat will idle ok but when i try to take off and plane, it boggs like there is no power, moves maybe 5 mph and makes a load popping noise. really confused here, both carbs rebuilt, new power pack, all 4 have ample spark. any help would be great
i have a merc classic 50 45hp and about a month ago started working on it due to bad idle. i cleaned and rebuilt both carbs and it ran the same. so i figured the idle must be too low. i adjusted the idle mix screws out and out beyond 1 and a 1/4 turns and no reaction. still low idle quickly...
I finally got a new power pack for my boat, put it on and it wont idle. it runs fine but wont idle. Both carbs have been cleaned and rebuilt, fual pump cleaned, new plugs and new switchbox/powerpack. so i tried messing with the idle screws on the carbs. took em out to 2 turns and nothing was...
i looked under my dock light which is in 15 feet of water and there were a bunch of shad, 9-14 inches. i threw my throw net and nothing, how do you catch these things? i tie flies and am capable of tying siv 24 flies if a certain pattern may work. Any ideas flies or not? Is it even possible to...
i have a merc classic 50 4cyl and after cleaning the carbs ansd setting both 1 and 1/2 turns out. The engine idles ok on muffs but it the water it pretty much will not idle. Everything electrical is either new or works fine, bothe carbs and fuel pump has been cleaned and rebuilt, all hoses...
i have a classic 50 45hp and i am convinced that properly doing a linc and sync on the engine will make it idle and run much better. Will someone please post directions on how to execute this. Also i dont know a lot about what i am doing or looking at so please make it easy for someone who is...
i am interested in making my old Bass Catcher aluminum boat look newer. i wanted to start with painting the entire thing to make it look better. what things are needed and what steps are taken? also before i begin how much should i expect to pay to finish the painting process? thanks guys!
i recently added a new depth finder (lowrance) onto my boat to help with striper fishing. most the time when things appear i have no idea what i am looking at. any tips or advice on reading and understanding these things would help me. Thanks
I have recently started striper fishing and cathcing shad. how do you keep them alive. we use tap water (treated) and add some shad keeper. still losing many. we use a well insulated and aerorated tank (round) and still loses. i think b/c of stress and water temp but we keep the water cool. any...
i have a classic 50 and am wanting to adjust the carbs and tune up the engine. i have already decarbed the engine which helped but i would like to do more. any advice would be great. alsomy # 3 cylinder has lost spark, on and off. i caught it in the problem and crossed wires to #4 and #4 lost...
maybe a juvenile question but what is a stator. what does it do and how is it tested. also what is the best way to find a used powerpack. i have called a few local marinas and they got nothing. any help appreciated!
as i posted on here earlier, i was out on the water and the power of my outboard cut in half, usually with a little time it kicks back on and works the same again. today i was close enough to put it on the trailor with the problem still acting up. brought it home and the bottom two (out of four)...
my classic 50 (40hp) will start up and idle fine for about 15 seconds then low idles until it dies. Starting it back up typically requires choking and a little bit of cold start. Any suggestions. Also, when cleaning the carbs on this motor, I pull the carbs and really don't know what else to. I...
Today on the water i was running my boat nearly wide open and suddenly the engine power cut in half. I immediately cut it off and tried to restart it and after a few tries it started back up. then once in motion running at 75% or so, the same problem started again, and of coarse the engine would...
