    Need Help with Ignition

    Darn, I wish you could see the videos. They usually work for me by clicking or double clicking on the video itself. The motor seems to be running well. It’s idling and reving up without any misfires. It’s also starting reliably. Thanks for all of your insight. Next step is to get the 60hp...

    I adjusted the throttle so that the roller matched up with the mark on the cam? Got this result. Is this normal idle?

    I took it apart completely and rebuilt it. It had a bunch of gunk from the old gasket. Soaked it in carb cleaning fluid, poked a wire through all the orafices and blew air through them and visually inspected with a light. Maybe the float adjustment? I didn’t mess with that.

    Sorry for the confusion. I keep calling it a 6hp. It’s an 8hp…1996

    Yikes! Sounds like bad news. I haven’t messed with the 60hp, other then checking compression and spark. Trying to get this 8hp going. It’s running but won’t idle.

    I keep messing with all three screws on the carb but still can’t get it to idle. Is there a factory setting where I can start from zero and set it, or is it an individual motor thing?

    The 6hp seems to run well but does not idle when the throttle is turned down all the way. Anyone have tips for idle adjistment and/or other advice? I think i’m close to getting it figured out.

    I finally got ahold of a good compression gauge. The 9hp read 65psi upper and 60psi on the lower. The 60hp measured 90psi upper, 85psi middle and 85psi on the lower.

    I cleaned the carburetor and it looks good and ordered the repair kit. Took the lower off and discovered that the impeller fins were broken off. Ordered that too. I’m hoping to get this engine running by next week

    Here's the pics of the carb. I think I melted the rubber gasket with starting fluid?

    Thanks, I'll rig something to make it sit deeper in the water. I took the carburetor off and found the rubber gasket was melted into the carb itself. What a disaster! I'm removing what I can with qt-tips, carb cleaner and rubbing alcohol. Can you suggest something I can soak it in to...

    Need Help with Ignition

    Got the 6hp started!!! It would only start when I used starter fluid and had the throttle and choke wide open. Not perfect, but it’s a start. I think I’ll pull and clean the carbs next because they have been sitting outside in the weather for two years. I’ve included a video. Any...

    Racerone, thanks for all your help. I will try that tool tomorrow. I attempted to start both engines today and it seems like they both want to start. I’m bery encoirages, especially if I could solve the situation by replacing a power pack vs tearing the entire engine apart. I’ll keep you...

    racerone, thanks for the reply. I apologize for my questions in advance. Is the piece with the green “bracket” the charger and the orange piece the sensor? How do I determine if they are good?

    Need help with my first project boat

    Oldboat, I looked and found a model number but can’t find much info on it. I found an old lund catalog and it looks like its’s a Pike 16DLX. Recommended hp max is 20.

    Need help with my first project boat

    Flashback, thanks for the reply. Connections look good but wires are old. I’m in the process of cleaning all connections. As strange as it sounds, it looks like someone left many of the components on the engines and spay painted over them.

    Need help with my first project boat

    Oldboat, thanks for the reply. It’s a 16’ 1981 Lund. I had similar thoughts as you about the 60hp being too much. Not sure what I will do in the end. I just want to get both motors running if possible.
