hi to everyone,i have some trouble with my motor,
first thing that i noticed is that the sparking plugs after i start and run the motor are not at the same tempreture the upper plug is more hot than the others. I bought new plugs and still is the same, than the major problem is the motor cant run at low revs because its always going off i cant understand why because than at high revs it runs well. i ve changed the diaphram ( fuel pump ) , and checked the reed valves and fit new gaskets and fuel filter and were ok , cleaned and set the carburaters with new gaskets and set the throttle sensor ,checked spark and compression of each cylinder everything in working order the motor runs well at idle and high speed but i still havent solved the problem yet , it keeps going off at low revs when giving few throttle can anyone help me fix this pls? thanks, you can contact me on my email EDIT

Welcome to Iboats,
you didn't say what your compression numbers are, this problem could be anything from bad gas to iffy compression, do them carbs again...do you have Manuals over in Malta? I doubt it half way between Italy and Africa...out in the Med...are you a pirate? I'm Mike Fink King of the river

your mechanic is the guy to see then, I wonder what if anything the fuel formula there using in malta could have to do with it? high octane could produce the stalling affect depending on the timing and compression of your engine....what you need is some good old american ethanol at 87 octane and some sea foam to blow the cobs out of that rooster.

You need some CORN
