Second trip out, motor started up great. We caught a couple big fish, 4 lb smallie and about a 6 lb striper, and a little smallie. It was really dark for the ride back to the ramp. Went slow. The wind kept up with the exhaust, so at times it was like we were in fog. Flashing mile markers...

My wife (35 years) usually waits till my hairbrained idea fails and laughs. Then comes commentary. "Did it hurt? Betcha won't do that again? Did you learn something?" And laughs some more. Figure I keep her entertained... :LOL:

Throttle worged as expected on Saturday. Thanks all for the hekp with it. The manual says something about a warmup button the control box. I donh have such a thing on mine. Is there a way to rig one up, or would that require a different controller?

Near Boone Lake.

They can be setup weedless, or in a texas rig. My nephew says they work pretty well in Tennessee where he lives as well. Local sporting goods stores, including bass pro, don't stock this color, I got them on amazon.

The water was 65. Those are nice Temps. If Temps would stay stay like that year round, it would be great. I've adjusted to the heat, but anything over 110 is difficult without some kind of cooling. We stay hydrated. Bimini is a must. I also have a two gallon sprayer marked water only...

We went out this morning on lake Mohave, from willow Bay. Had a great time. We Caught a 20 smallies and a small bluegill. I caught 10 of the smallmouth. Also caught the smallest and the largest which wasnt big. They were all pretty small. But fun to catch.We fished near were we caught a 3...

A couple of fish taco places out here serve fried gator street tacos. Pretty good. Not as good as al pastor, though, but just as spicy.

:LOL::LOL: Agree, wide open throttle on a lake sounds like the person standing in the back (which would be me) wouldnt enjoy... Static at 28 sounds way better.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Will put my spare timing light into the dry bag. Going out Saturday morning. When you say under load, is that just in gear and idling, or faster?

Agreed. Thanks. I have a hard copy on order and it should be here Friday. Thank You! Ok, will just put the lower linkage back on where it sits. Shift in and out of gear was working fine. Will check the timing static, and make sure it is around 28. If it's not will put I in the barrel and...

@jimmbo and @Nordin Thank you both for the additional responses. With the linkage unhooked, yes the moves enough to open past horizontal on the inner butterfly. After adjusting the throttle rod (which was way off at 3/4 open) and only leaving the throttle linkage hooked up it is now...

Long work day. Will give it a go tomorrow after work.

Thank You @Nordin . I didn't adjust the throttle connector at all. It's as it was when we took the outboard and linkage off the donor boat. Just reinstalled it as it was. The throttle pickup point has line on it. I assumed throttle rod should be adjusted so the plastic roller bushing...

Trying to figure out throttle cable adjustments on a 1990 Force 50. When put in forward gear, it engages the drive, but can move the throttle forward about 30 degrees before it the throttle cam (#2) starts to move. Can't get full throttle. #4 was backed out 1/4", but not sure if that's the...

Engine ran well last night. It started every time with just a twist if the key. No cranking to make it run, no fouling. Was an enjoyable night fishing. My friend caught the biggest striper he'd ever caught as well as the biggest small mouth he had landed. The trip back was quite dark with...

Running by 0830. Fuel pump diaphram was hard and had a rip in it. Was thinking it was pumping air and gas, upping the fuel pressure. Thaniknig that was the only problem, untilI i took the carb apart. Found a little piece of wood in the needle seat. Cleaned out the carb, and put it back...

We thought it was a good deal as well. Wanna switch to a 4 stroke when we can afford it. New tank and fuel lines. Checked compression when we got it and again after the trip out. New solenoid, new starter, New plugs. And a second spare pair of plugs for the parts bag. Wiring is good...

From the canoe, I've seen numerous boats in that area with headlights and spot lights when out at night. Also seen numerous canoes and kayaks with no lights at all (also illegal) If illegal, we won't run them when moving.

Have Navigation lights installed at the front inside the top weatherstripping rail. And a removable, extendable anchor light installed. Inside lights installed as well when we need. Agreed. The original setup when we started only had Nav lights on the hood and anchor light. To navigate...
