[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 110972, member: 1485"] Well boys and girls, the time has come to inform you of the culmination of many months of wondering, researching and working. I decided that I couldn't in good conscience bring the motor in to a professional to get worked on. I just needed to rip the carbs out again and see if maybe I didn't clean it well enough. So I took them out, cleaned them again (took out the idle screws and some other ports that I hadn't noticed the first go-around), and put everything back together being sure to cinch down fuel lines good and tight. Then, just in case the angle of my driveway was messing with results, I parked the boat on the street before lowering the motor into a large plastic trash bin. It always ran better with the muffs on then in the lake, so I wanted to make sure the exhaust was under water to get a more accurate result. Primed the bulb and it got nice and hard. Good first sign. Turned the key, choked it and BOOM...sucker fired right off! I messed with the idle screws a bit until I got it close, then took it out for it's maiden voyage this weekend. She ran like a dream. Started right up, no hesitation or threatening to die, and it took off and had plenty of power. Plus, even after fishing for awhile, it started up again no problem. So THANK YOU to everyone who gave me their 2 cents and helped me with this process. Too bad summer is already almost over, but I'm looking forward to hopefully getting it on the water at least once more before hunting season. [/QUOTE]
