Here’s a pic of my cylinders after I pulled the head. Top cylinder is the only one with and kind of scoring in it and it feels/looks more superficial than an actual score mark. I had an outboard shop look at it and he said it was fine but if I wanted I could have it machined and go get the...
That said I’m certain it was due to something else causing the fault. I’m still going to test it when my adapter comes in and verify I’m not getting a grounding out condition in the harness when the wires get hot.
So took the boat out again after cleaning the carbs again it’s back to doing what it was before I did all the carb work. Noticed a week spark on one and two and hit them with cold air on the compressed air can upside down with a very minor improvement however when I blasted the CdI it got...
Gotcha we deleted it mainly because it was cracked and the cost of a new one was outrageous. $50 for the Evinrude Simple pump vs 500 just wasn’t doable for us. The gas never has a chance to go bad either because we fish a lot and at the end of the summer we empty the tank completely and use it...
Correct running straight pump with premix. Complete delete of the vro system. Had to delete the vro for a few reasons. 1.) the pump was cracked and needed a complete replacement and that was about 500 for OEM (won’t use any other) and that just wasn’t in the budget at tue time. 2.) the alarms...
I have an in-line filter before the pump and all new hoses.
I just checked the coil packs again with my spark tester and my number one had a weaker spark and would be almost nonexistent when the rpm’s dip down on the muffs. Cylinder two is real strong and cylinder three kind of drops off a bit...
So I cleaned the carbs out again and it ran perfect for about 10 minutes then did the dropping 1k rpm’s and then it would jump back up. I got it home and noticed 2 things one it surges slightly at idle it’ll run up a couple hundred rpm’s and back down and idle smooth then back up and back down...
Right I’m mixing terminology here but what I’m saying is the port that that jet is in feeds a 2 piece brass tube that the larger diameter empties into the throttle “throat?” and the smaller goes through the throttle body and into another port where another orifice (part call out 22 on the...
Yes the spot I’m talking about is the four small holes in the top of the throttle behind the throttle plate. That are in the same tube that the brass pick up that drops down into the bowl behind the high speed jet needle.
Broke them down again and did a test a mentor showed me years ago about putting the carb upside down and letting carb cleaner sit over the 4 small Orifice holes that the high speed jet supplies. If they drain off you’re good there and if it takes longer to drain you may have a problem. Cylinder...
That’s what I was afraid of lol.
I’m also going to make sure that I have all of my clamps tight enough and the fuel lines right. The good thing is before the primer wouldn’t help the situation at all so there’s a start.
