The saga of the traded 15 horse continues. If you remember, it wasn't pumping water and cold siezed when I first took her out. Took it to the repair guy, who did a compression test, both cylinders at 75psi. He said that seemed a little low, but if they failed, they wouldn't fail at the same pressure. Replaced the impellar, she now spits really well. Cleaned the carb, she starts on the 3rd pull cold then 1st pull warm (used to take about 20 pulls to get her started before cleaning the carb.) Adjusted the idle screw on the carb, when I got her, she wouldn't idle without me giving gas, now she stays running.
Now, she runs. When I run her WOT she doesn't really get up on a plane, if I back off on the throttle a little, she seems to pick up speed. Was out fishing last friday with a buddy. He has a 14' with an 8 hp. He commented that his 8 pushes his 14' better then my 15 pushed my 12'. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
