Hello Winter Projects, HA!
Alright, so after getting some great advice from Don S. on the electronic ignition (Delco Voyager), I am good to go with it.
However, I was told by the previous owner that one carb probably needs to be replaced or re-built due to some stumbling at idle on the port side motor- I only felt it a few times when I had the boat out, and I did clean the fuel system completely. The carb's smell weird though when I smell through the butterflies not like gas by any means!!
So either A I can rebuild the both carb's with new kits and everything (I have never done this before, but I am extremely mechanically inclined) or I can buy new Carb's whether they be Rochester, Edelbrock, or holleys. I would almost enjoy re-building the carb's but I would like to add Electronic Choke onto them if possible to make starting easier. I am sure the electronic ignition is going to help with that as well.
So my questions are what do I need in order to do the re-build completely, do I just need a re-build kit or do I need floats and bushing (Do they come with a rebuild kit) and how difficult is it. If I were to take pics could iBoats guide me? and how do I add electronic choke
Or if I should just buy new ones which ones/models would match my engine and intake and how do I add electronic choke. Also, FYI I have a OMC Chevy 5.0. Engine model number is 504APARY.
Thanks guys!!
