Hey guys I would like to start off by saying awesome forum. I love it I have been lurking for about a month now using tips to work on my new outboard. I have 2 stroke experience so i wasn't going into this blind. I paid 50 for the out board and this is what i have done so far.
1) Cleaned the carb. (I work on 40 year old mopeds for my main hobby.I made sure to clean all the little holes that i saw.)
2)New plug
3)New ignition Coil (didn't have spark before had weak spark after i could only tell because i held the plug and pulled the cord. I think it was the way i had the spark plug connected to the spark plug. It was just a metal clip thing. I might have that fixed now though. Have not tried its too early in the morning.)
4)New fuel line. I bypassed the shut offf valve for the exterior tank. I fugured it might have junk and crud in it that might get into the carb.
Now this is my main problem. I carnked it for about 2 hours the other day trying to start it. I put quick start in the cylinder and still nothing. After about 2 dozen cranks if i stop i can here a high pitch squeeling noise. I can't pin point where its coming from. I know the motor was run last ten years ago. The last owner passed away and it was sitting ever since. He took it out fishing the week before he passed. I have never encountered the noise like that before and i can't pinpoint where its coming from sounds like it might be the carb area. sorry for rambling on. and thanks in advance.
