[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 407332, member: 16014"] Third time's the charm! I ran the motor in a barrel and it worked fine, but I did need to readjust the carb settings. I took the traveler back to the lake today and it must not like lake water cause I put it in the water did everything exactly the same and got the same result as before. After playing with the choke (open, close, hold at half choke, open again, half choke again, etc.) and idling for about 5 minutes I closed the choke and it stayed running. Took it out and it ran great. I brought it back in, bailed some water, and when I went back out the motor fired right up and I went a little father out and really let the motor sing. Got the carb adjusted for WOT and it sang me an aria! the 10 hp struggled a bit to get me up on plane but I was also facing a lot of chop and a 20 mph wind. My little boat saw the open water today for the first time in 32 years! [/QUOTE]
