So with the advice, a slap in the face, and a bit of know how, I decided to pull and clean the carb of my "bad" motor, this morning. I haven't had time to take it apart b/c I have class.
Here's the reason for my post: I had to call the previous owner, b/c I have had the boat a month and still haven't received the papers. He asked how it was running, and I told him the prob. He then told me that as a quick fix, his "mechanic" told him to premix the gas, and not to fill the oil resivor. Why I ask, he said that the is "something wrong with either the pump, or maybe the hoses, or, "then he said, "well we never really looked hard enough to find out".
So, i am now stuck with the issue do I try to find the pre-existing problem and try to fix, or premix. This is where my knowledge begins to fade. I have no idea where to go from here. Last wk'end, i went out on the boat and wrote about the fun i had on it and the problem here: http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?t=22456 .
I appreaciate any and all help, suggestions, and comments. Thank You much everyone.
