Billy Bob Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mike, sometimes all these parts can get to your memory when it comes to putting her back together........my tip is have your camera near by and take some photos as your tearing her down....then if your not quite sure you can go back and look at your photos. Just consider that "The Tip of the Day".... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bob Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Any decent auto parts store should have flexible gas line for you....comes in bulk rolls down here.....I'm sure it should up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 well... changed the fuel line and that did nothing.... but thanks for the suggestion...over and over and over...lol turned out when i was having the top end issues and it was running rough... my spark plugs got really dirty... so i cleaned em up with sandpaper and brake cleaner... took it for a spin tonight and all seems fine... running great.... full top end power for a long ride... and dropped to idle 5-6 time and smooth idle every time.... trolling great... nice and slow... so i am still planning on cleaning the carbs because i have the parts ordered anyways... and i was having issues with the needle valve being blocked open... so a good cleaning and new gaskets should take care of that off and on problem... and the motor should be 100% again... hopefully... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 So you changed the gas line, cleaned the plugs, and its running great. Imagine that! Great news! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) So you changed the gas line, cleaned the plugs, and its running great. Imagine that! Great news! S. If that's how YOU wanna look at it.....Lol IM looking at it as the primer ball and spark plugs were the only steps that produced results... And fixed the problems... And the $100 for a new fuel pump....$6 for a fuel filter...and $20 for fuel lines and SS hose clamps... Did nothing but eliminate possible problems... I also ran the boat on the water after each step so I knew wich ones worked... Thanks to everyone for giving me a hand... I'll be cleaning the carbs in a week or so and might have some new questions then... Mike ... Edited April 3, 2012 by Musky Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Why do you think your plugs fouled? It doesn't really matter to me, I could honestly care less, but If you had of just got the fuel line from the start, you would have been done with this long ago. Anyways, enjoy your time on the water!! Oh, and you should definitely replace those plugs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
