Sorry for my ignorance here - Fuel System meaning -- Fuel Pump, Carb, and Fuel Lines?start by cleaning your fuel system
you are running lean
and fuel tankSorry for my ignorance here - Fuel System meaning -- Fuel Pump, Carb, and Fuel Lines?
How do you clean a carb and not remove the air/fuel mixture screw.Here is an update -- I changed the fuel filter, cleaned the carb, and checked that fuel is flowing well from the tank to the filter.
The motor is still running with a lean sneeze. Any chance it could be an issue with the air/fuel mixture screw?
Have a wee YouTube search. Easy enough to check. Will be an AC output to the regulator and DC after that. Likely be around 18v AC going in and should be upwards of 13v DC out…with some rpms on her. Best with a multi meter that has the diode function of possibleI have not checked. No battery on it right now just using the pull starter.
Any links to a good resource to learn how to check stator, regulator, and coils?
Haven’t had a chance to take it out on the lake. Just got it 3 weeks ago have been working on restoring the hull and getting the motor up to speed. I have not tried adjusting the low speed mixture screw - I’m not sure where that screw is located…any help?How does it run when boat is floating in water?-----Use a timing light to look for an ignition miss if there is one .----Perhaps throttle plates open too early.----Have you tried adjusting low speed mixture screw?----Thermostat in place and working properly ?
Sounds good just ordered a multimeter — ill get back to you with what it tells meHave a wee YouTube search. Easy enough to check. Will be an AC output to the regulator and DC after that.

Ok. Just be careful and make sure you’ve looked into what you are going to do. You can get a fair smack off it if you’re not careful. Test your coils too. That’s just a resistance on the meter. Likely set to 200ohms range usually…if it’s not an auto range meter. There will be a specific tolerance reading for your coils at a given temperature that you need them to achieve. Also easy to do. Very handy tool to have for a boat too.Sounds good just ordered a multimeter — ill get back to you with what it tells me
