Hello
Just bought this boat a month ago. Got her in the water over the weekend and found some issues. When I bought it we ran it for a a min, and it started.
So when it starts, it doesn't want to start takes some time to crank, then it runs very rough. Dies many times and mis fires. Once it's warmed up it idles fine at 1500.
Even you get it out on the water, and give it throttle, it takes a while to build speed and the engine hesitate. There is allot of white smoke coming from the exhaust. Once it's on plane and up to 5000 rpm, it runs and drives nice.
Previous owner said it ran last summer, and had the wear ring replaced.
I thought it might be bad gas, so I added fresh gas. Added seafoam.
I talked to mechanic, and he said it seen allot of gasket's leak in this engine. Crank or cylinder leak is what he mentioned. Telling me to spray crab cleaner on the gasket to see if it boggs or kills the engine.
So I need to trouble shoot. What is the do safest way to run this boat out side is water? I know you can hook a hose and run it with the water hose.
What you think? Carb issue, bad gasket or other issue. Before I pull the motor to get it rebuilt, maybe we can fix this...
