Re: Cold Running Motor…Revisited

[johnyrude200]

I’ll take all of your recommendations and tinker with it. What I’ll probably end up doing is putting aside one of the motors and use it to experiment with. Right now I’m just working my tail off trying to keep up with orders and repairs!

I have an eligible motor…’71 johnson 25 short shaft, tiller, electric start, which I think is a good candidate. I like the idea of making the pickup later in the throttle advance. Makes a lot of sense to help even out fuel delivery a bit, coupled with taking that recirculator hose right off and rerouting…all sounds good.

I still shake my head at how nice the mid 60’s 18’s run. Very smooth at all ranges, reminds me of the later 15’s from the 80’s.
