Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
It's been raining so much today I took another spin to the marina to run the bilge pump. I started it again. It started well and idled fine, but as soon as I went to bump the throttle it died again just like in the video. If I move the throttle fast enough to full it will stay running but also...
So, I was able to get out to the boat today but had to come in when the rain started. It started as usual but ran a little rough at the start. I could hear the Hissing from the TKS module. I tried to give it a little throttle to smooth out the idle and it died. 2 or 3 cranks later it started...
So to be clear, what should I see when looking in the carb at idle and at higher rpm? A drip or a spray?
For vacuum lines as well, I see a clear tube from the fuel filter to the carb, but nothing really else. My plugs are white and dry so I don't think it's running rich.
Thanks again for all...
When I look into the carb there are 2 circles with holes in the middle. It drips from there. On the the flap for the throttle. I'll take a picture tomorrow.
Thanks for the info. I'll pull it off tomorrow and check. If I bench test it, can I just hook it up to a 12v car battery and then watch it expand for 8 to 10 minutes?
I checked the front 2 plugs and the looked a little lean (white on the tip) no oil or gas on them and not wet. I was by myself so hard to bump the throttle and look at the carb but I did notice when I was looking after bumping the throttle to about 2500 rpm, the the fuel was just dripping into...
I have a 2009 Bayliner 175 with 3.0l mercruiser TKS engine. I have never had an issue with it before but yesterday I took it out for the first time this year. It started and idled fine as usual. I took it up to full speed for about 5 minutes to get to our fishing spot and then cruised at idle...
