I just purchase a boat and motor that ran great in the yard, then when I take it out for a test ride Idled fine when cold went out ran it WOT great pulled back on it and ran about 4500 RPM ran great big smile on my face 1/4 2500 RPM good grinin from ear to ear round in circles and alls well back to the dock take her down to a Idle blaaa, wont IDLe starts kinda hard smokes like heck then clears out and runs fine in same order as above but no Idle Hmm .
I take it over to the boat machanic . He says I know just what wrong with it leave and Ill have her going in a couple of hrs hmm still smiling .. Then "
"The Call" I say well boats done right, hmm nope !! what ! Mmore to it than I thought VRO pump is over active , I ask well what else is there to do , He says if you want it right you better fix the VRO and rebuild the carbs! 940 buck "the smile'' is now gone, i TELL HIM WELL YOU BETTER DO IT .. Hang the phone up no smile anymore, Get think-in 940 I better do some checkin So I head for the internet punch in over active VRO hmm nutting coming up on that lots about throwing the pump out and going to a mixer type motor ??/ Question how can you tell I need carbs rebuilt if the thing is getting double the oil ??/
how does one dignose a OVER Active VRO Pump if both carbs are on the fritz, ?? should I replace the pump or go to a mixer type motor I dont mind mixing fuel at all >>> >>>....
I called him back and have him on hold for now any input would be great :redface:
