    Help identifying this little white motor

    Very interesting, brother had a wankel powered snowmobile, everyone liked it ! It would do just a little over 50 mph, whether by yourself or carried a passenger or carried two and pulled a skiboose. Funky sounding but never failed us, just used a lot of fuel and had a lot of grunt !!

    2004 Nissan 9.8 has a bad idle and throttle, even after a new carburetor

    2004 Nissan 9.8 has a bad idle and throttle, even after a new carburetor

    Is the new carb a factory replacement or a chinese copy from Amazon ? Has the carb been setup and adjusted to the engine? Did you clean out the fuel system, replaced all filters, have an inline filter, and using fresh fuel ?? How good is the fuel line from tank, they only last a few years ??

    any tire preference for vans at the boat ramp?

    Course treads will help, many tire mfgrs make tires for wet surfaces. Carry a bag/ bucket of fine gravel to throw under your tires, make sure it is sharp edge gravel not rounded decorative pebbles.

Not what you want to hear, but after 60 plus years of boat ownership, it will turn out that way for sure !! If the owner properly maintained and stored the boat for all these years, he would not...
