Hi all ! While backyard boating is answering my painting questions I'll try this one here.<br />While testing my motor in a trash can I noticed it was sputtering at low idle. The carb has 2 adjustments. I was told that it was too rich (hence the sputtering) after clearing the sputter by leaning out the left 2 cylinders I'm left with a question. Is it too lean ? How do you tell ?<br />Problem 2. the left 2 cylinders are definately hotter than the right 2 cylinders which seem to stay in temp spec. I can see the thermostat at the back of the motor with 2 hoses one running the left 2 cyl and one for the right 2. Other than replacing the water pump and impeller/s (which i have no idea how to do nor do I know where they are located) can I take the left hose off and blow with pressured air ? Should the water passage be fairly easy to blow thru ? anyway of telling wether it's a blockage or if it's poor water flow ?<br />Thanks ! GREAT BOARD ! No way I could be doing this w/o it !
