ok I'm kind of stumped. Is it possible for a high speed orfice to be completely missing and the engine seem like it runs fine? A real close family friend gave me a boat that he had sitting for 4 years but he told me that it ran great the last time it was used. I'm taking the carbs apart and...
Can anyone tell me if this boat uses a standard 1" plug? I've tried to plug in a 1" plug but it just wouldn't fit. The 3/4" "livewell plug" was way too small. Are there such things as 7/8" plugs or do i need to drill the hole out bigger? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

I just got this boat last weekend and the previous owner told me it has not been touched in over 4 years. The steering is completely frozen and cables are all cracked out. I know i need to replace it, however it's so frozen i tried to hammer it through. It started to go through and i thought...
OK, I pretty much ready to throw the towel in. My top cylinder isn't working and there is gas and oil coming out of my exhaust. My carbs were just cleaned and I bought a brandnew power pack so spark and fuel should be good. I'm really not sure what happened but the boat was running fine one...
I just found out that my top cylinder isn't working. I read a few other post about pulling the head to fix my problem, just wondering if this is something the average joe can do? The only other thing that i have really done on an o/b is rebuild carbs. If i do decide to pull the head, does the...
my 89' johnson 40 vro has a little red cap with an arrow on it that looks like an air valve. I was just wondering if anyone knows what that is.
thank you

I'm really bazzled by this, my motor lost all top end power and idles pretty rough if at all. The only thing that i did was spray some carb cleaner in there and it ran well for that day. I took it out the very next day and it has no power at all, i could start it and put it in gear really fast...
I have a 1987 force 125 with a bad motor mount on the left side. The lower part of the mount where the bolt attatches to the transom has completely broken off. I have an extra mount to repace but was wondering if this could be done without removing the whole motor. From what i can see it...
I have a 1986 cajun fish n ski that has a force 125. The boat runs well except for one thing, I can't trim it up at all when moving. When i'm going really slow I can raise the motor up but when I start moving forward the motor just drops and it makes a high pitch noise that sounds like the...
