Well I thought I would give an update on my labor of love of getting this motor running as it should be. First off, I really appreciate all the input provided. I replaced the spark plugs just in case. I was able to remove the screen filter in the tank and cleaned and blew it out with compressed air. It really wasnt clogged. I then dropped the carb bowl and inspected the screen and it was perfectly clean and also in good shape. I put in fresh gas and took it to the lake. There is a lot going right with this motor. I pull, and it started. Unfortunately, I did not improve my situation. As long as I ran at about 50% throttle and somewhat rich mixture, it seemed to run ok. A few coughs but I ran it all over the lake for about 30 minutes. Purred like a kitten at low throttle. So I took the boat in and took off the side panels in an attempt to adjust the carb while I was running. But once out on the lake again, I simply could do no better no matter what I adjusted. If I go above the start level with the throttle, the engine coughs and stops running. My gut tells me that something in the carburator is gummed up somehow and is not letting the fuel to flow when the throttle goes high. So that is my thought. I am going to have to take a part the carb and clean it. Just a note, I could see the float rod coming up when I pressed the prime. So the float I suppose is working?? Does anyone have a step by step instructions on how to clean and adjust the carb on this particular motor? Furthermore, Does anyone have any further thoughts on what my problem is being caused by? Does anyone know of someone in the region of Indianapolis or surrounding areas that my be willing to help me redo the carb or help teach me on doing this? I really feel that this motor is a gem. I just am not sure how to get this accross the finish line. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed! Thanks Rob
