Tell ya what, stick a barrel under it filled up with water and see if that improves the water circulation.

All I can say is the guy said they have changed the water pump evey January since he bought ther boat 10 years ago?

Re: The Motor won't start??
 

I am not to worryed about water at this point, I will see what happens when I get it in the water.

I have to get this choke thing fixed, I have another switch here and will replace tomorrow.

The one in there now the spring is messed up and it does not go back to run after she starts, I have to turn it myself.
But I have a good one here so will try that.

Try the barrel, if that don't give better pressure, snatch the foot off and look at the water delivery system.

Oh and the switch, put silicone on the threads and hand tighten with a socket and no rachet.
The silicone will keep the nut from backing off, most people damage the switch from tightening it.
The things made of plastic!!!

Check for power at the purple wire that hooks to the fule primer solonoid. It is on the lower port side of the airbox. It should have 3 hoses hooked to it, one big one and 2 little ones.

that screw in the back of your throttle linkage is not the idle speed that is you idle spark dwell. that is also how you adjust your idle timing it should be set at 6*ATDC at idle. use that to set the idle timing.

Hey !!, you keeping knocking my post off the top. I need help first here. Get in line >:(

Re: The Motor won't start??
 

I hope the water coming out from in between the lower and mid is normal, mine does it just as bad. I pulled mine off awhile back and cleaned and painted it. It slowed the water down for awhile. If you pull the lower off you'll understand why it blows water out there. The way the exhaust lower housing drops in doesn't seal well and lets the water hold up there.
