I am looking to buy a 14 foot aluminum boat w/ a 25hp tiller pull start. The boat will start, run for a second, then die.
Spark is good and strong on both coils.
Fuel issues. Motor runs when mixed fuel/oil is sprayed directly into the carb. However, the carb won't work as it is intended and deliver fuel to the motor.
A mechanic "rebuilt" the carb in attempt to correct, only to later say that the jet is too messed up to rebuild and that it needs a replacement carb which is aprox 300.00.
Question
1. Is this carb jet servicable like on a car carb?
2. are these carbs disposable or known to be receptive to being serviced.
Suggestions? The boat has been sitting in storage for 5 years.
thanks all!
