Still No power.

[xwingz2]

Hello board,<br /><br /> I am Ed's son... I am completly lost with this engine. This afternoon I took off the carbs and went through them to make sure that they were cleaned and kits were put in them. Sure enough all is well in there. While I had them off I did the old upside down trick to make sure the floats were not stuck. When the carbs were upside down I could not "deliver fuel" into the engine (me blowing into it...) so... both of them seem to be sealing and working properly. <br /><br />This afternoon when I took it out...it started to take off but fell on its face... I pushed the auto-choke in on the key and it went and fell... again and again. Its almost like its starving for fuel. <br /><br />The primer bulb also is not getting hard- it seems to be bleeding down... In other words it will get hard but if you keep pressure on it... it will bleed down. A local guy here said that it sounds like the fuel pump...?? The fuel pump was supposed to be replaced when the 500 dollar repair was done.... so... I DONT KNOW! As Dad has said... I know cars... I am out to sea when it comes to marine engines. <br /><br />Thank you all for your help... Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving <br /><br /> HELP!!<br /><br />Trey.

Re: Still No power.

If it's the red motor, the lipazoid valve is bad again. If its the yellow and blue one the ganuten ring is on upside down.<br /><br />Sorry! Couldnt resist. Seriously, what kind of motor are we working on?

I think its the Red one!!!<br /><br />I think you need a fuel pump, whether you thought you got a new one or not!!<br /><br />LubeDude

Re: Still No power.

Does sound like a fuel pump problem.<br />Check lines for leaks/ kinks.

Hello.<br />It probably is the green engine.<br />It sounds like there is nothing wrong with the engine or carburator.Try to use a different fuel ball,hose and fuel filter. This may well solve your problem.<br />However,if it does not help,it is time to check out your fuel pump.<br />Good luck.

trey - You said "The primer bulb also is not getting hard- it seems to be bleeding down...

First place to look are the small o rings inside the fuel connectors.
