[QUOTE="ATW, post: 413128, member: 12477"] Been travelling around the US the past week for work so the boat was being neglected. As stated earlier, there were some things that needed to be done to the motor since its maiden voyage was a bust. 1.) Had a good leak at the back of the block by the top spark plug hole. 2.) Had a fuel leak at the primer solenoid valve 2.) Motor wouldn't go under load. Motor seemed to run okay on the muffs but wasn't great. I bought a new compression tester and spark plug tester. Cold compression test yielded 125# and 121# = I'll call that a pass. Had nice blue spark jumping 7/16" gap with the tester on both cylinders = pass. All evidence pointed toward a carb rebuid/cleaning. Bought a complete carb gasket kit. Tore the carb apart and let it soak in Pine-Sol overnight. Yes.. Pine-sol. (Google it!) While the carb was soaking, I took apart the water jacket. Can you see where my water leak was? :lol: [img]https://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/andys_addiction/Water%20Jacket_zpsnoilwpgq.jpg[/img] Put in a new thermostat while it was apart-- old gasket and new! [img]https://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/andys_addiction/15dac960-6ef5-44fb-89a1-37cfef1e6298_zpsuoxjolok.jpg[/img] My fuel primer solenoid was leaking gas when activated. You can see the crack in the red plastic valve. Replaced it with a new kit. [img]https://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/andys_addiction/Primer_zpshp3wdn4b.jpg[/img] P.S. If you don't own a OEM Service Manual, get one. I found one on ebay for my year for $20 and it's been amazing. [/QUOTE]
