[QUOTE="cosborn, post: 469466, member: 25154"] Finally had time to mess with the idle needle in the garage, but not enough time to take her out to the lake until the weekend. Much nicer, low idle, no backfiring, no sputtering out. Started on the second pull cold. First pull after that, no choke. Running better than when I got her (was a touch of backfiring when I bought it). Propped the bucket up a little higher and let the hose run enough to counter the loss exiting the bucket. Definitely seeing a strong stream and a lot less steam. But is that enough water coming out the back port? https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdpdjndy8hdsro4/Video%20Oct%2017%2C%207%2017%2057%20PM.mov?dl=0 Won’t know if I get more till I can open her up on the lake, and if the white steam is completely gone now. Possible that I was getting it while on the lake before because of the choke needing to be out all the time to keep her running (overheating resulting in the extra steam?). [/QUOTE]
