This is the one piece on this boat that I have not tinkered with. I don't think that it's the source of my engine problems but I also don't know everything. I did a search for more info on this adjustment and came across conflicting opinions and manual statements.
My manual says:
If the maximum engine speed can not be attained
or if the engine has poor performance, the water
flow regulator valve should be considered in the
troubleshooting of the problem.
Mark the location of the red plastic adjustment
screw with paint dots for reference purposes.
Fully tighten screw (clockwise) in valve cap. Turn the screw 3 turns counterclockwise (loosen).
The adjustment is now complete.
1. A post on here stated a manual saying to tighten red cap until flush with black cap and then back off 2 clicks. I guess that means 2 full revolutions? (mine is currently at one full revolution out from all the way in.)
2. There are 3 ports on the water valve. 2 are 1/4 ports and 1 3/8 port that is solo on the opposite side. I found a post about this 3/8 port but there was no answer to it's purpose. The manual does not show anything connected to this port nor does it make any remark about it. I'm assuming it has a function of some sort but does not connect to a hose. Any ideas?
As always, thanks!
