carby kit arrived so finished doing the carbs installed them and went and popd her in the water on the trailer started heaps easyer idle better put it in gear wot and it was going between 2800 - 3000 stoped it pulled cowling off checked all the wires made sure plug leads were all way on...
i asked the seller for video of it running. they sent me one of it out on water couple days before i bought it.
iv got good spark carbs are now spotless just waiting on the service kit to arrive put it all back together then try again.
i have a can of seafoam sitting here is that ok to use ?
the idle jet orifices have no 29 on all of them.
think iv gotten a lemon.
trying to find the high speed jet removal tool
in worst case scenario would carbys off a 84 90 with correct orifices/ jets work on a 79 ??
yes this is my first outboard.
i found the orifice plugs / high speed jets i cant get them out dont have a screwdriver that will fit down the hole.
are all the orififace plugs/jets ment to have numbers on them none i have pulled out so far have had any markings on them that i could see im going...
there is a disc but no transome plate. so apart from the no on the disc i have no idea wat it is.
no jets in the bowls themselfs there all on the carb just 2 screws one either side. of the bowl with nothing in them but i will go double check and take a photo
I pulled carbs off today can only find 3 jets that a removable in them. bottom carb was clean as. top carb was filthy hoping that was the problem its soaking in carby cleaner atm.
but non the of the jets or cavitys were blocked thinking maybe somthing was floating around in the carby bowl...
