Hello all,
First off I purchased this boat last year and had some running issues and talk to some people through here and they suggested a carb rebuild, so after running it a couple of times this year I decided to do the re build. I have not tested the boat in the water yet but ever since I have rebuilt the carb the engine is extremely hard to start and once it gets started there is a lot more exhaust that before, Like the grass behind the motor is black and the exhaust at the prop is now black. Once started the engine runs good but once I shut the motor off for 10 plus min it is hard to start again almost like I'm having to do a cold start again. I'm pretty mechanically Inclined and I'm thinking its like the carb is burning to much fuel.
Thanks for all the help and advice
