Well. at least your getting there one step at a time. Time to backtrack and check that carb for fuel passage.

Yep, I think I have trash in there for sure. My problem is self inflicted. I waited too long to change the fuel water separator. I know for a fact I have trash in my tank. I have to be more diligent with the filters.

The plan is to take one screw out per day until the whole motor is torn apart and inventoried. Then, by December 2nd 2012 I should be able to begin putting it back together.

Funny you should mention that about fuel. About half way through dinner last night I went out to pull a sample from the racor. It was clean as a whistle. Went back in and finished dinner feeling much better:hi:

Water in the fuel can give similar issues also. It collects in the bottom of the bowls. All you have to do is drain the bowls to get it out. Best to drain it into a clear container so you can see if it actually has water in it. The water will separate and go to the bottom.

If you look through the drain plug hole you'll see a jet. It can be removed with a skinny screw driver. There are some little holes in it, make sure they're clean.

Thanks eight...planning on checking/cleaning the jets this saturday. Gotta get a new racor filter too.

When you get her up and running...

if you need crew for an offshore run, ring me up. I can be there in 3hours and 40 minutes.

Slot - that is not fair. It takes me minimun 6 hours. Also there is one problem - now its prime season so rates are practically double.

I'd love to give it another go but I doubt I can afford to go back to Hatteras until next Memorial day weekend. I'm going to be doing the South Carolina thing down at Surfside. They've actually caught some half-grown mahi about 20 miles out recently. We'll see.

Mark your calendar for next Memorial day weekend and we'll go do some killin and grillin my friend :sun:

Sounds good. I remember that you were planning som,e fishing on the coast, just didn;t know where.

it could be a broken reed in that cylinder. have you tested the compression yet? you may have hurt it running it lean and dry. better test those holes for compression.
