I really need help. We bought this boat without a trailer last year. It had been
sitting in a boat house for 2-3 years unused-started.
We have been told 5 times it is fixed by person working on boat. We have paid
him and it still will not run for over 15minutes. I am at the end of my rope. He
is trying but can't get the boat fixed.
We have replaced the fuel pump, plugs, wires, breaker plate, cap, rotor,
coil-points-cond 3 times and the shift modular. We have also had the carb built
twice. Changed the can type fuel filter. It seems to be getting fuel. When it dies you can look into the carb and pump the gas and the jets are pumping fuel. Runs great until you take it out and run it to temp.
So the mechanic calls and says it ready. I drive 1 hour to lake and run it for
10- 15 minutes them it dies. We replace more parts and the same.
The 4 cyl motor runs like a top at idle or tied in slip in gear forever. If you take it
out and run it and get it too @120 degrees it will start missing,back firing and
running rough. Then it dies. Sometimes it starts after 10-15 rest but not all
the time.
Please help me. As you can read I need it. Its a 24' pontoon that isn't easy to
just put on a trailer I don't have and move around.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
