    Stalling and Starting problems

    This is a follow up to the issue reported 2 months ago. I checked the fuel pump, and the pressure was perfect. I then replaced the Needle Value with the newer version (no spring). This fixes my issue 90%, but the other 10% is very annoying. For instance, last night I went to the boat, it...

    Stalling and Starting problems

    Thanks, but I can't see how to attach the gas line to the pump. Can you be more descriptive? Also, if I jump the Oil pressure switch, will the pump run continuously with the key on but without the engine running? Can I deadhead the pump to test it?

    I've changed the needle valve and seat, and flooding continues. As suggested, I want to test the fuel pump pressure. Attached is my pump, fuel line, and pressure gage. I've searched online, and cannot find an adapted. Any suggestions?

    Stalling and Starting problems

    I have not been to my boat in over a week, but went today. It kept flooding on idle. It even was pouring gas into the carb with the engine, and key, off. Any ideas?

    Stalling and Starting problems

    Thanks for all your help guys. I got in to check the float adjustments. The Float Level is supposed to be 10mm, and mine was about 11, so I made a small change. The Float Drop is supposed to be 24mm, and mine was about 40. I guess the guy who rebuilt the Carb was careless. Made that change and...

    Stalling and Starting problems

    Took the filter off and gas was clean, but there was a little dirt at the bottom of the jar I poured it into. Started the engine, goosed it until it died, and looked into the carburetor and saw a puddle of gas. What causes this?
