Default Re: HELP!!! (FOR MY FRIEND).

well first, is this a new to him boat??

Has he run it before and got top RPM, 5000 to 5500 ?

Or is this a new to him boat and he has never run it before??

New to him then he needs to tune it and make sure that he is getting full throttle and if all that works then re prop, whats he got for a prop now??


If this is s boat that he has had for awhile and all was good before then he has to look deeper!

Need more info!! and maybe skools will see this and be able to help a little more.

MORE INFO!!

If it was I amd its all new to him, I would make sure that the throttle is going full, Then change and gap the plugs, and while they are out do a compersion test.

What prop does he have?? Most run a 17 pitch X 14 1/2 or 15

Hows the carbs?? One or more can be flooding? Does it run smooth?

After he gets this stright he needs to change the lower unit oil and since he doesn't know, I would change the water pump also, Just so I do know when it was done last!!
