Thank you great info. I guess the best thing is to just try it out and see how it performs pushing the boat instead of the test tank. Spring is just 4-5 months away.
There is no lead shot in the top hole pointed out in the pic below? do I need to install one? It runs good as is? Does anyone have a flow chart for the carb so I can figure out what the port is for? Thanks John
