Hi All,
I have been having some problems with my motor that I belive a de-carb would help or eliminate. My motor is maxing out at 5500-5600 RPM's where it used to hit 6000. Also, it has been stalling in nutural or when I hit it to pull a skier up.
Anyway, after reading posts here, I want to de-carb. I read the FAQ's section and came away with this:
Run engine at fast idle, with engine running and warm, slowly spray liberal amount into each carb. Its gonna smoke up the place. Spray for a couple minutes, now spray a larger amount into the carb(s) until engine chokes out and stops.Remove spark plugs and spray the decarb product liberally into each cylinder, install the spark plugs, let it soak for an hour or more. Start the engine and run at medium throttle, or if at the lake, run it at full throttle. It won't hurt to spray some more through the carbs. Run it for atleast 10 minutes to flush the crud out of your engine. Now remove and clean, or replace the spark plugs. It works well to do the spraying, the night before you go to the lake. This way you can let it soak overnight, and run at full throttle at the lake.Don't do this in front of the garage door or the house, unless you want it covered with greasy black crude
My question is more for clarification:
1. Is Sea foam is an addititive I put in my tank?
2. Is Deep Creek is a spay I use as described above and use directly on the carbs?
3. What does "cleaning the spark plugs" mean, just wiping them down, or putting sandpaper to them?
For a point of reference, the motor is fine, I it was a sleeper when I purchased it and had it checked over. The compression is great at 145-150 per cylnder and I had it linked/synced, new plugs, new fuel pump put in when purchased. I have since put about 20 hours on the motor over the past 4-5 weeks.
Thanks for any advice.
Best,
MS
