Hello,
I have a 98 Crest II ( 22') Pontoon Boat with a 97 Force 75 HP motor that can be hard to crank and can be easy to flood while trying to start. I am thinking ( from my pervious post) that I need to rebuild or clean my carb.
Today a friend of mine told me that every time he turns off his 2 cycle boat motor , lawn mower, weed eater, or blower that he always runs the gas out of the engine to prevent oil deposits from happening when the gas evaporates.
He suggested that I put a ball valve in my fuel line and when I stop my boat I need to shut the valve and let the engine burn off the excess fuel. The motor will stop after burning the fuel and then I would need to turn off the ignition.
Does any one else do this procedure when they shut off their 2 stroke? Is this correct?
Thanks,
Donald
