ok, i rebuilt/cleaned the carbs. poked a thin wire through all the jets and holes and doused everything with carb cleaner, blasted everything with compressed air and shot it all with seafoam. put it all back together and back on the motor. went to start it up and just turned over. blasted a little ether in the carbs and it started up. ran for a good 10-15 seconds. ran rough as hell. managed to get it started like that 2 or 3 more times. wouldn't stay runnig for more than a few seconds. baby steps. went to pull the plugs and i can't find my 13/16" plug socket. i figure what else can it be?!? i'm done for the day. i'll find, or buy a new plug socket tomorrow and see what condition the plugs are in.
WHAT THE PHUK ELSE COULD IT BE?!?!? i'm so frustrated at this point..... a couple guys are showing interest. i might just dump the dam thing and find something else at this point. shame really. the boat is in beautiful shape.
