    Fuel Problem

    I think the warpage is usually found on the bowls......been there already.

    Fuel Problem

    I already checked the bolts around the carbs unfortunately.....now I'm suspecting something "behind" the carbs. I'm guessing intake gaskets going bad is NOT common.

    Fuel Problem

    I am planning on doing the carbs after I pull the boat, don't want to do it while the boat is in the water....just thought it seemed odd the way the GumOut affected the performance when sprayed next to the intake and wanted to be sure it's the carbs. I'm afraid to run it as is now.

    '97 vx76 200's vs '95 Johnson 175's

    Considering replacing my Twin '95 175 Johnsons w/ '97 vx76 200's. Would prefer the ox66's w/the FI, they are not readily available. How do the vx76's compare to the ox66's? I'm obviously familiar w/ carb's, I'm hearing the vx76's are just as reliable as the ox66's. My Johnsons are getting tired...

    Fuel Problem

    I'm still curious, is there a way to test for Vacuum of Pressure in the crankcase? I was thinking I could connet a Vacuum gauge the the nipple on the intake manifold that connects to the Primer solenoid. Should there be Vacuum there? I could compare 1 side to the other...

    Fuel Problem

    I agree, can't hurt to try though. I actually added the Seafoam before this problem occurred......wonder if it caused it??

    Fuel Problem

    I am familiar w/ a compression test on a SBC.....not on a 2 stroke. I understand the intake is in the crankcase on a 2 stroke, I was wondering if a problem w/ the intake would show-up on a compression test. I did conduct a compression test: 95-110 across the 6 cylinders. How can I test the...

    Fuel Problem

    UPDATE: I think I narrowed the problem to the Port car bank. Disconnected the lines from the Primer Solenoid 1 at a time, the 1 on the Starboard side made did not make an improvement but the Port side did. I then sprayed Gum-Out next to the intake manifold on the Port side band on the...

    Fuel Problem

    I'm currently running seafoam in the gas right now.....about 1oz/gal, guess I could increase it.

    Good point.

    Fuel Problem

    Understood.....just don't want to get into it right now. Would it hurt anything to run it like this a few more times until I pull it for the season?

    Fuel Problem

    Started the boat this morning and problem is occurring at cold start. I did take the vapor separator apart and adjusted the float, upon inspecting the needle/seat, the tip of the needle does seem warn, not sure if it's sealing or not. After reassembly I started again, problem still there, may be...

    Fuel Problem

    Correct, I did not mention that the problem occurred after running and being shut off for a while. So what does this imply? I plan on going down to the boat today an d see how it runs after a cold start. if the problem is there from the cold start I intend on taking the vapor separator apart...

    Fuel Problem

    I had posted this issue a while back and someone responded saying this was a common problem w/ these engines.........it was suggested to run the engine at a high idle after the engine was running, warm, maybe had something to do w/ "heat soak"? That worked for a while, now seems like what ever...

    Fuel Problem

    Can you describe the function/purpose of the vapor separator?

    Fuel Problem

    Does the description of my problem sound like it may be related to the vapor separator? I see there is a kit to rebuild the fuel/vapor pump. Kit,

    Fuel Problem

    I doubt 6 carbs would go bad at once.

    Fuel Problem

    Have Twin '95 175 Johnsons. Have a problem w/ the Starboard engine, stalls out when throttling up. If I let it idle long enough it will die, but start right up when I hit the key, although it does idle rough and at a lower RPM than normal. Had to limp home on 1 engine today. While coming in I...
