finally got out on the water for the first time today. everything went very well. started up easily on the second pull. the killswitch that i installed worked as it should. lost power once. the picture is a bit out of focus, but there is a plastic piece (don't know what it is called) that is...

I think that I have the throttle connected correctly. here is a short video: https://youtu.be/qW62LUOfZNc any thoughts?

I just picked up my first boat ever and am in the process of getting it ready to go on the water. Does anyone have a good resource where i can see how the carb and choke connections should be set up. I have the service manual, but would like to be able to see an actual picture if possible. I...

First off, thanks to the mods and everyone else here on tinboats for all the resources. I had been thinking trying a modification before i even realized that a community like this existed and now that I see what others have done, I finally decided to give it a try. I hope to have a boat that...
