I replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs and thermostat the other day, still runs like crap. Im gunna stop by the marina today and get the carb rebuild kit, already got the manual. The guy told me not to mess with the idle or timing until the carb is rebuilt. HE also said that if that doesnt do the trick i should get the compression tested. If a cylinder is screwed in gunna tap out. Sunday she is gunna run damnit.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Rob, I'll bet you a 6 pack of O'Doules it runs like a champ after you rebuild the carb. You must have 100 hours into that thing.

No boat, back in the suds.
