After replacing PDS bearings, new bellow, changed drive oil, and new impeller it was time for a splash. This boat has not touched water since 05. Running fat pig rich on idle. Vacumn was 12-14. Holley 80309 dual feed. Carb was rebuilt by me last year.
New plugs soaked with fuel. Pulled carb, base gasket wet on port side, raw fuel on intake runner. I noticed my primary's were open pretty far for idle circuit to function properly. Air/fuel screw was not responding like I would think. All the way screwed in and vacumn got better.
Boat pulled hard and had lots of power out of the hole. With the exception of smokey idle I was impressed with the performance. Got home and opened bellow to have a look and a little water poured out.
Multiple issues in this thread, but would like some opinions on carb and water in bellow and did I just trash my new sealed bearing?
