Re: Engine accelerates, what's wrong with it?
Dhad, I've been conflicting myself into doing that, ever since the problem came about. Its been running fine other then rev-ing it up on muffs. I am deeply considering it,though. Before I let the boat sit, I ran the motor without the gas-line until it couldn't run no more,then I blow it out with an air compressor and wrapped the motor with turf and bungie cords nice and tight. I did it because the floor needed to get fix and I knew I wouldn't have the time to fix it. I'm going to try to clean the carb before the weekend begins. But I don't know, maybe after I take it out and see how it runs. I'm going to have to sleep on it. My Wife always tells me if it ain't broke don't fix. But I see where you're coming from. A nice clean carburetor would be a plus. Just finish rebuilding the floor sometime last week and I can't wait to put it in the water. If I don't clean the carburetor and the preformance is some what sluggish, I will regret not doing it thats for sure! <br /><br />One thing I didn't do is change the lower unit oil. <br /><br />It probably needs changing?
