ColdWaterFshr Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Whew . . . .I thought it coulda been a flux capacitor problem. For that you need a home equity loan.
fishinwrench Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Ohoo Yeah, you blow a flux capacitor and you're toast. Luckily for Laney that's a Suzuki and Honda thing
Members Laney Posted February 23, 2012 Author Members Posted February 23, 2012 Just wanted to let everyone know about the problems I was having with the motor. As I told you, I took it up to Son Sac Marine up near Ruark Bluff and he, Bill, fixed the problems for me. As I said it was smoking severly on startup and at idle, I thought it was the VRO oil pump, but he checked that out, not the problem. The motor had somehow got out of synch, so he adjusted the synch back to where it should be, readjusted the carbs as I had to enrich them to get it to run, put a new water pump on and just checked the enginer over real well. On the way home, I stopped at the lake, put it in the water and cranked it, no blue smoke, the motor ran well, idled as it should, so I am well pleased with the work he did and the price he charged which was not out of line at all. Sure beat just out right buying a new VRO pump when that was not the problem. Just wanted to let everyone know that Bill, the mechanic up there and owner of the place, knows what he is doing, he might take a little long, but he does it well.
fishinwrench Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Good deal, Laney. Do me the courtesy of one more update after it has sat a few days or so. Did you do any fishing?
Members Laney Posted February 24, 2012 Author Members Posted February 24, 2012 No, didn't fish any at all. I had taken all the rods out of the boat since it was not going to be locked up. But a real pretty day to do that, just didn't.
