Members JR Brotherton Posted April 29, 2013 Members Posted April 29, 2013 I have had trouble with this motor for a few months now. First it would run great untill it got warmed up. Id shut it off to fish then start it up and it would plane out then just bog down and die. I put a new power pack,plugs,head gasket,water jacket gasket and impeller in it. Then I barrel tested it. Ran perfect at home. It would idle at low throttle and rev great. I took it to the lake and it was missing a little at low idle,but I. Tried it anyways and it jumped up on plane then fell on its face. It would barely idle and not rev up except when choked. I took it home put it back in the barrel and fired it up. Pulled both plug wires while it was running and it continued running and would even start on either cylinder only.(note make. Sure your hands and pliers are completely dry during that test mine were not). I also gap tested the spark and got a half inch loud blue spark. I pulled the carb and am waiting on the kit to come in. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. If this carb rebuild doesn't work I will also be needinng to find a good boatshop around Springfield or Stockton Lake.
