Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for their contributions to this forum! This board has provided a wealth of information to a first time boat owner.
Back in June, I purchased a 1979 Chrysler 30 hp outboard. It ran decent enough or so I thought. I've had a few issues, although frustrating at times, were easily resolved.
Since purchase I've...
changed gear oil
replaced impeller
installed tell tale
replaced spark plugs
inspected fuel pump diaphragm
inspected/set points
decarbed
converted from tiller to remote steering/controls
installed tiny tach
replaced fuel lines
installed inline fuel filter between pump and carb
rebuilt carb
I just finished getting the carb back on and wow what a difference. Thought I was wasting my time as the carb seemed pretty darn clean inside. But there must have been some blockage because after doing an initial setup it's idling much better and seems to rev smoother. Can't wait to get it out of the can and on the water!
So once again, a big thanks to everybody that helps to make iboats a newb boaters best friend!
