Motor gets stuck at 2000 rpm

Re: Motor gets stuck at 2000 rpm

just to let you all know where i am at...the battery was all but dead gave it a full charge and the motor sounds brand new again...i have not had a chance to put the boat in the water yet but i think my stator is bad and when the battery was dieing the motor would run worse and worse.Think i need a stator.


also it still has that little pop while running over 2000 rpm and i noticed fuel dripping put of the carbs even after being cleaned up...

Did you replace the needle and seat in the carbs?

Wake, Check the voltage at the battery when the motor is running. The voltage should increase when you run the motor up to fast idle 1500RPM or so. If not you likely fried your rectifier when you disconnected the battery cable. DO not do that in the future, if you want the igniton system to survive.

well the reason my motor was running so bad was that the battery was dead so that should tell me that the charging system is not working right?That was the cause of my problem...




As for the carbs no i did not..i will have to go get those and replace them..you think that is why the carbs are dripping?

Would the rectifier going bad cause it to pop when it is running?

Yes. The needle is not seating all the way letting the fuel get by.

That would explain why there so hard to tune then.....thanks i will have to get some of those..should help with the fuel MPG as well

Get a complete kit. After you have the old parts out, soak the carbs in carb cleaner for a few hours, then blow out all openings with compressed air.
