Ok guys she has been sitting for about 5 years or so.
I replaced fuel tank ,lines,spark plugs.
Ok so I gave her a try today she ran very well for about 2 min thin the engine got a mind of its own.It started to rev by its self so I shut it down .I took the carb cover off to take a look everything was moving just fine thin I primed the carbs and I was seeing fuel spill out all over the place so I took the carbs off to give them a good cleaning.Test number two she ran but it did the same thing but I did see that only one carb this time was spilling fuel.What do you think and what model do I have I need to order parts and don't know what to ask for.


Thanks shawn:D

You need to replace the inlet needles and give the whole fuel system including the fuel pump and lines a good cleaning usually when a 2 stoke revs. like that it's running out of fuel

Ok so I was reading something I don't know if this is true because I'm a first time boat guy but can this have something to do with my control handle. I have it in neutral.is there some other adjustment on the handle.


Thanks shawn

Ok tell me if Im wrong is there a throttle advance on the control if so I dont see it and if so would this make the fuel spill out when I prime the carbs.I think I may have done something wrong.Please tell me what Im doing wrong.:D
