Daves looking a little slim on the side.Should of fed him the doudle decker.LOL

True, but Ive seen it only once due to torential rain muddying upthe banks.Btw the current flow in the pool shifted.My fav spot to drift is backaswards.

I passed by red hill today.Unbeleivable.It was blown yesterday and today,perfect.As for bronte and all others

That must of been a June bug.

Well I tried, and the wife found one tick. ME!

nice one

That would allow fuel to mix with oil as well.

Im thinking as well as another, hydraulic lock.Pull the plugs and try again, if it persists, then im leaning towards upper end.Valves stuck closed.Broken cam gear?Or if you are hearing banging and knocking noises while trying to run it.Then I would look at the crank has shifted enough to react with the conn rod and cap.Causing lock up.

Thank you for everyones input.I suspect its a carb problem.I hope it is.

T, thanks for reminding me.I did run the engine both in for and rev with the lower unit up in the driveway on many occasions.I was warned afterwards.I dont think there is an long term damage. When I do run it and inspect.I use a scope to listen to the bearings and gears in the casing.A block of wood as well if I have to.I will dbl check on sunday and listen closely to the gimbles.Maybe I will compare it to the ones on my jeep.

I have considered it.If it was a gimble going to the dog house, I should feel or hear it.Thats if it is enough to stall an engine at 30 or so mph.no howling or knocking noises, and at low speeds trolling it sounds fine.

The lines are new,except for the feed to the carb,its steel and I wire brushed it inside.I wonder,the stabilizer i put in and the foging oil down the carb.HMMMMMMM.maybe I disturbed something?Between the last time it was out(starter went)and my last outing.Stabilizer,fogging oil,maybe the carb is gummed upalittle.I know its a fuel problem.New cam and pump is good(rides on cam lobe)Delivery to carb good.Fuel and lines are clean. Just so you know, its practically the same engine thats in a chevette.Inline 4 except its a 3 ltr engine not a 2.8ltr. Igues its time to rebuild the carb.Dang nabbit

Gelling is a common problem with deisels in cold temps.A snowblower is gas powered and it was pobably water that froze.If its a 2 stroke then oil and water froze upin the fuel bowl.Kinda like a slushi.No gelling or anything like that.No water in the gas at all.The tank was cleaned out entirely. A carb prob im sure,it bogs.

Quadra bogs?I heard this before with the monte carlo 305 guys.A bogging quadra jet carb?I had an 84 cutlass 305 quadra and she bogged.Actually If I recall correctly, it was the 2 barrel that had more issues.I know.

Keep in mind when I said under load, It was meant while in the river or lake.On my driveway I can throttle up no problem.There is though a little hesitation if I throttle up slowly.At the same time the water pump and impeller(pick up pump(new))are working fine.Lots of pres on the outlet end of the pump.And she pees like a race horse.

Thats what I thought?I recall it stamped merc.It has to be a rochester carb 2 bbl. I recall talking to active engines in Miss.I gave them the vin of the engine for a cam and gear set.Shoot I forgot, new timing gears as well.Crank(metal), cam( fibre composite).If you know GM, then you know why the cam timing gear is composite fibre.Anyway I recall him saying rochester carb.I will take a pic after work for ya, for id and a # on the tag.

according to pics in the manual, it may be a roch b/bc or2gc/2gv carb.I will check the tag on the carb and call dewilt honda. Something also tells me it may be a merc carb?Dunno.I will let you know tomorrow.

2 barrel,its mid to late 70s, so I have to say vacuum.There is a clear hose attached to it.Im going through the manual as we speak.I may be able to identify it.Obviosly a mech pump.

Mine is going out next week.I havent fired it off in years.Skeet shooting for the first time. Aparantely they have rabbit skeet shooting, that got me interested. Know I have to ge something to save my shoulder from the kick back. As for Turkeys, I see them all the time.I think there not afraid and know when the season opens.I say at least 8 dozen this week.But come time for open season, their no were to be seen.Jeez I can run them over.

sorry I forgot to mention.I checked the pump when it happened.I got sprayed.As for the filter,I replace it 3 times in a season.I sits in a canister above the pump.The line I cracked open was on the down stream side of the filter.The pump is the same as an older gm mech pump, except the filter housing is attached to it. So I guess I have a carb problem,Float sticking, maybe. If thats the case, I found a guy that rebuilds carbs off of the 427/qew, along the queensway I think.I purchased an electric choke from him.Only if I can remember the name.HMMMMMMMM, he knows his stuff.

My problem, the engine is dying out upon accelation under load. I should tell you that the engine is totally rebuilt.You name it, its been done.2 new piston heads and con rods, new bearings and rings,new cam, lifters,pushrods.The crank was turned as well.The block welded.The head was plained and new seals and springs installed by a shop.New accell wires and a coil as well as a starter.I replaced wires that didnt pass a resistance test. Now, what I did notice when the engine stalled, the slave solonoid had power on one side and not the other(just below the breaker).So I jumped the connection and it started.Never failed again. I can run my engine all day in my driveway and throttle up with no issues. While in the water as soon as I want to acceleraate shes stumbling and wants to stall right a way.Idling not an issue. One other thing I want to add, if it sits for a while at home, Its takes a while for it to start. The only thing I can see is a carburator problem,Maybe the float is stuck? Everything else checks out.

I keep this in mind always.When rivers are blown and muddy, the niagara is always good.Yesterday I was at the pool, it was at least 8 to 10 ft of visibility in most spots.And thats no bull.Chippewa crk 0 vis.The grand 0 vis.

If their open Im going for a brewski and a bite.

Keep your eyes open for a rod special.Limited # at a steal.$20 for an uglistick.Perfect for my 2 kids.
