    Stalling mystery

    Any ideas why it might fall flat in that 2000-3000rpm range? It's the only issue left on this motor that otherwise runs amazing.

    Stalling mystery

    Definitely used the good stuff for fuel lines. Anyone here know enough about old Chrysler outboards to say if my fix to drain the reeds into the leg is the right thing to do? Previously it was just a line connecting the two barbs on the reeds which seemed wrong. On the more modern 45hp motors...

    Stalling mystery

    Hoses are all about a year old at best. The hose for the relocated gas tank is brand new. I was worried about ethanol as well. Good news is that I figured out the second problem. Throttle linkage was out so the butterfly opened past wide open on max throttle. I feel like fuel isn't the issue...

    Any difference between these carbs?

    I'm in the midst of repairing a 1973 Chrysler 45. Since part prices were pretty wild I picked up an abused Chrysler 55 and a Force 50 with a wrecked powerhead for next to nothing to strip as needed. I have the 45 almost ready to test and now it's time to address the carbs. I have three nearly...
