    What is inside the toon?

    I had a similar issue with my pontoon. Took on water from on the top of the pontoon where the toon is welded to a support bracket (small crack in the weld). Put a small tube into the access hole which is designed for this purpose. The tube only went in an inch or so. Needed a smaller tube...

    I'm going to see if I can switch out the bottom carb with the top or middle carb and see if the problem stays the same or moves to the cylinder that gets the bottom carb. That should tell me if the problem is in the carb or within the motor itself.

    Update. Was able to remove the drain screw from each of the carb bowls without removing the carbs. While removing the screw from each of the top carbs, gas drained out of the bowl. When removing the screw from the bottom carb, no gas came out. Removed gas supply hose to that carb with motor...

    Borrowed a second compression tester and the results are as follows, 150, 150 and 140 in the cylinder that is "bad". Those readings are well within the 15% margin. Checked the fuel pump diaphram and it was fine. I'm wondering, since there are 3 carbs on that motor, could the carb that feeds...

    I have a 1973, 65hp Evinrude that I need help with. The motor overheated to the point that it stalled. Since then I have changed the impeller, head and head gasket, exhaust manifold and gaskets, plugs and all 3 coils. I had it on the water today for the 1st time since overheating and it had...
