Looking at your engine where the hot section connects to the manifold I think I see something that looks like aluminum foil. Is that correct?

If you are having trouble with clogging in your new carb, possibly you suggest, the main jet, we should ask if you have a good filter/separator and a final "polishing" filter for the fuel. The best way to clean a main jet, or for that matter all the carb body passages and jets, is with ether or carb cleaner aerosol with the thin tube attached. The main jet should be removed and held up to light to see if it is plugged. I have jewelers drill bits to clean them but any fine wire will do. The job is best finished with compressed air. Be careful not to lose the main jet washer and reinstall just over hand tight.

YES. It is correct. Actually the whole hot section looks like aluminum foil. I think it is some kind of thermoformed heat wrap. Cleaning the carb: Thanks for the ether advice. I'll try that and also use my air compressor. Can a carb just "go wrong"? The carb A (turns on in a heart beat, steady and nice sound, but no throttle when in gear) has a very clean main jet and is actually pretty clean everywhere. Anybody has any idea what can cause that/ what to check? |

d, look to the seal on the discharge tube and be sure it is clean. That is the brass tube that protrudes into the venturi.
Another check is to look at the old gasket closely. Where you want to look is in the area over the center of the bowl. This is the emulsion well and the top is sealed by the GASKET so look and confirm that you have good contact all the way around IE a bit of indentation. Either of the above can really raise havoc by leaning where there is more demand, thus the lack of performance. Dave Neptune |

I just finished rebuilding both carbs. The "new" one had a part quite clogged (the long skinny needle-looking brass part that is inside the carb, and has a a few holes in it). I hope this was the reason why it wasn't starting at all with this carb. The "old" carb looked in perfect shape. So why is this one starting but not giving me throttle when in gear, that is a complete mystery. On my way to the boat right now, will try both, and see if I still have the smoke from the exhaust. |

d, no you are describing the "scavenge tube". The "discharge tube" is threaded into the throat and feeds from the "emulsion well". It is the "tube" that the 'air/fuel" is discharged into the "venturi (the round piece in the throat)" for proper mixing for the intake.
Jerry or someone have an exploded carb pic to post? Dave Neptune |

Dave I am still confused about the discharge tube. If you have a pic of the tube that would help. I took this carb apart a million times so I know the look of the parts even if I don't know their name or function.
I just tried both carbs after cleaning. It started in both. With both, I have good throttle at idle and in reverse. NO throttle AT ALL (cannot go past 1000rpm) in forward. whenever I am in forward, it is like the throttle shift is simply not there. Of course, very strange that it happens with both carburetors, but I had the exact same problem years ago (with the carburetor I have now) and fixed it by switching to another carb (that I gave to someone in need, I now deeply regret it). So experience tells me it is the carb, but what in the world can cause that? I am almost ready to buy a new carb, but if it doesn't fix the issue I will probably cry. Also, no smoke so far. I will try the engine on a little longer to check smoke and temp. |

d, have you tried revving with reverse fully engaged, IE holding it in position while opening the throttle? Did it rev higher in reverse?
Have you visually checked to see that your throttle linkage does open the carb in forward? If it is not linkage and the same with two carbs I'd check the fuel pressure, anywhere from 2~4.5 PSI is acceptable. Can yuou describe how it sounds when throttling up in forward? Does it sputter, stumble or just make more noise and not rev up. Don has some pics in his "Tech tips" I believe. Have you moved or tinkered with anything else? Dave Neptune |
