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.
Update- I was going to go through the carb again, and found out the fuel line split at the fitting on the carb. Apparently dumping premix in the housing caused the over rich situation. She runs great with the new fuel line installed.
I recently bought and refurbished this motor. I installed a new water pump, thermostat, and grommet on the water delivery tube at the powerhead. I disassembled the carb, replaced the float and float valve, and cleaned everything. I also synchronized the throttle plate so that it idles nicely...
