Small add to your suggestion to shut the fuel off and run dry.... Try to RE-start it with the Choke on. If you can catch it when it starts to die, use the choke by applying it just enough to keep it running, keep this up until it only runs on full choke. THEN it will have removed the MOST fuel from the Carb and other fuel system parts. I suggest ONLY using fuel WITHOUT any Ethanol! Add Sta-Bil to all fuel used and you will have MANY less visited to the repair shop for fuel related issues! Also.... HEAT & TIME are Gasoline's WORST enemy's! The Higher the Temp, the shorter the life of the fuel! Add time and it goes bad quick! GREAT Video! Thanks!
I had one. Bought it new. Used it for several years...then the carb clogged. They don't come with fuel filters in the lines! Would have prevented the problem. Next one will be EFI for sure. We got about 8 mph in a 14 ft aluminum Jon boat with two men, A cooler, trolling motor, and a battery. At wide open throttle it would run about 44 minutes before needing to refill gas tank.
That sounds awesome! I'm going to have to fix the car again. I bought a brand new one and that didn't do the job. I wonder if there's junk in the fuel system? That's the next step in line for me
Thanks for watching! I don't personally have an extension for mine. However, I have a few products from brocraft that have held up very well and they sell one. Here is a link to their extension hope it helps:) amzn.to/44emMtX
Not off the top of my head but if I had to guess likely just the carb. I know the 3.5 can be upgraded to 5 horsepower. If you buy a new car for it possibly the same for the 2.5 but that's a guess
Hey, yes it should be. It won't be very fast but it will get you where you need to go. If the boat is rated for more power it wouldn't hurt to step up to a 5hp
Not really, I am having issues . I have read on several forums that there are flooding issues which I am experiencing and have not resolved by first cleaning the original carb and then replacing it. It hasn't run properly since I placed it on the boat. It runs at full throttle for 30 seconds then floods out.
@@BuckcreekTVUpgrade it to the 5hp conversion kit. Apparently they run very well with the 5hp rated carburetor and aluminum propeller. Hopefully that helps!
