    Another troubleshooting trick that I forgot to mention is to use a metal pump oilier, (a squirt can made to oil machinery) full of two stroke gas mix, and squirt it into each carb throat while running. If the cylinder comes alive for a second, then you probably have a lean/dirty carb on that cylinder. This doesn’t work well at idle because it will flood the cylinder just as fast as making it less lean. It works better underway, if you can get a helper to drive the boat.

    Long live American manufacturing!
