I was going to start my own thread, but I’ll piggyback on this one if nobody minds.
Ran my 4423-04947 yesterday – ran like a champ
But…..
a few questions for the peanut gallery
1. the filler plug/filler plug seal/plug locking lever system leaks when the motor is off the boat and lying on the dock
a lot
anybody got any ideas?
2. the carb leaks gas when the motor is tipped forward, even with the fuel valve shut off and the needle valve all the way over to "off" – is this to be expected, or do I have a leak to chase?
3. iirc, mine has two spidery looking impellers in the water pump – I’ll take a look at them later today – they were working great yesterday, but are almost seventy years old – is anybody making replacements for them?
4. I have a fuel shutoff valve with thumbscrew just below the tank, as referenced in the S&O instructions. I have another fuel shutoff valve at the other end of the fuel line, attached to the base of the carb – no thumbscrew, just a slot for a screwdriver. Why two?
