    Just wanted to say thank you to everyone. I got it started and running yesterday after fixing all the fuel lines and rebuilding the primer solenoid. Off to have some fun! 👍

    I also see them on Ebay. I just don't want to get one that is junk and will leak or break easily. Any advice as to which one to get?

    I just dug in a little more today. There is a nipple on the top of each carb that those small lines are connected to. They are all disconnected in some form, they have tee's seemingly connecting them all together. Are those fuel lines for the carbs? Are they meant to all be connected...

    Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I just purchased my first fishing boat, 17' 1989 Tracker Marine. I was told that the oil injection system has been bypassed so I need to run pre-mix 50:1. Going into the purchase I did know that the engine wouldn't start. The...
