hey everyone! new to this forum. first off, Im going to say thanks in advance for any and all help. I purchased this boat middle of last season, boat was running awesome for a month or so before I started having issues.
we were out on the water cruising, after a couple of hours the motor, almost bogged out to stall, I had to pull throttle back to keep it running, trying to limp it back to dock, couldn't get boat to plain as I had no rpms, after cruising like this for 4-5 minutes, all of a sudden the boat started to take off again and shot out of water and onto plain. eventually got back to the dock and loaded it on trailer.
a few days went by, I changed plugs, fuel filter, and gave it an oil change. when I ran it up, I forgot to turn water on for the muffs. I only ran it for maybe 30-40 seconds( obviously to long with no water)doh!
so... hoping the impellar was still good, dropped boat in water and away we went, before long temp was right up, and the exhaust bellows were smoking I believe the temp was up around 200-220( on the gauge). got towed back to launch and went home.
a few days went by, I dropped bottom end, and sure enough, just as I suspected. the impellar and housing were both melted. so I replace imepellar and housing, and run it up with water. seems to run good. so I headed out on water with family. just as I didn't expect, the boat overheated again.
so I took thermostat out on water, that didn't help. ended up getting towed back to the do. I eventually parked the boat for the winter.
So a few days ago I pulled the boat into the shop and started wrenching. I put a new cap and condencer on, rebuilt the carb, pulled front cap off of heat exchanger, found a few pieces of rubber, blew air through the sea water lines and everything seemed fine, and no obstructions.
I went to go fire the boat up, I finally got it to fire, but I thought the motor was gonna shake right out of the boat! I had it running with WOT(wide open throttle) and it was barely staying running until it died. after I shut the key off, I looked down the carb and raw fuel was still pouring in, for at least 5-8 seconds.
so I finally had enough. i am ready to take it to a mechanic.
the boat ran up until i changed cap and condencer and rebuilt carb this year, the only issue was over heating, so now i have a non running boat.
where do i start?
any help is greatly appreciated
