Hello fellow boaters.
I just bought my first boat. I know nothing about 2 strokes or marine engines. What I do know is this motor has specs regarding "4500 rpm" which mine comes nowhere near lol. I found a service manual for it online. No matter how I adjust the linkage, the throttle valve on the carb never opens, which to me explains why the engine never revs up.
I bought the boat from a young guy who was trying to pull a heavy group of friends on tubes and was trying to get as much out of it as he could. He owned it for a year and said it ran properly when he got it. I started from scratch on the fuel mix setting on the carb and some new fuel that I know is mixed properly and it ran better but that throttle just wont open up.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and happy boating!
