Hello guys - first post here.
There seems to be a wealth of information here, so thanks for having me.
As the title says, I'm having an issue with my trusty (up until now) Envinrude 20. To make a long story short, it was working great until the end of last season, where it started "bogging down" at high RPM. When I gave the manual primer a few pumps, it would pick back up again (I understand this is a fuel distribution issue).
This year, it didn't start at all, and I think there is more than one issue at hand - one that is outside of my comfort zone.
I did go through the no-start check list in the top secret file, and then I completely rebuilt the carb and changed my spark plugs before noticing that there is a hole in the hose that goes from the manual primer to the fuel bowl plug on the carb.I can't seem to figure out the size of the hose (it looks like the inside diameter is 3/8), so if anyone knows off the top of their head, it would be appreciated.
That said, the main reason I am writing is in the following video. Though I have experience with small engines, I don't have much with boat engines, so this throttle issue is throwing me off. I would greatly appreciate if someone could watch the short video below and let me know if this looks right...
Thanks in advance, I will be checking the site regularly, and I will be happy to answer any question.
Cheers from Canada
