Thanks for the reply's.
I was experiencing intermittent loss of power/rpm's, and eventually stalling. I had to get the boat back in with the dingy motor.
BTW, I highly recommend an outboard motor bracket on the transom for the dingy motor. This made getting the boat to safety a breeze...and very good piece of mind.
The engine ran great for the first two seasons I owned it. Then I started having problems that could have been from:
- dirty carb
- sticking needle valve
- failing fuel pump
- dying coil
- air leak in the fuel system
- or whatever else might cause my loss of power/rpm's and stalling while at cruising speed issues.
Any other suggestions?
I started going through everything and found lots of loose stuff, and started tearing things out, cleaning and replacing.
I decided to add a electronic fuel pump as a back up and to use while I wait for a rebuild kit for my mech fuel pump.
I will monitor the carb when I prime the system and see if it overfills.
CC.
