Re: Please don't yell...Its a Force Question.
If you haven't had them in the water yet, do yourself a favor and decarb the engines, before you start using the boat.<br /><br />Go to a NAPA or marine dealer and get yourself atleast 4, preferrably 6 cans of decarb. DeepCreep by Seafoam is a good brand.<br /><br />Do the decarb, then check compression, then change the sparkplugs and go have fun.<br /><br />Decarb:<br /><br />Your intent is REMOVE the existing carbon buildup from the cylinders, heads, and rings, then a spray decarb solvent product is needed. Some people use one can per cylinder.<br /><br />Run engine at fast idle, with engine running, slowly spray liberal amount into each carb, its gonna smoke up hte place,<br />spray some more for a minute or two, now spray a larger amount into carbs until engine chokes out and stops,<br />remove spark plugs and spray decarb liberally into each cylinder, install the spark plugs, let it soak for 3 to 10 hours. <br />Start the engine and run at medium throttle, or if at the lake, run it at full throttle. It won't hurt to spray some more through the carbs. Run it for atleast 10 minutes to flush the crud out of your engine. Now remove and clean, or replace the spark plugs. <br /><br />It works well to do the spraying, the night before you go to the lake. This way you can let it soak overnight, and really flush it out at the lake.<br /><br />Don't do this in front of the garage door or the house, unless you want it coated with greasy crud.
