Hey guys,
I’m not a mechanic by any means, but I’m stuck during the tear-down trying to get the gas tank off following the directions here http://www.outboard-boat-motor-repair.c … Covers.htm
I’ve disconnected the fuel line hose, but as the picture shows, can’t remove the fuel shutoff valve as I hit the mount for the bolt
Do I need to remove the fuel shutoff valve first?
quote Tom C:
Your motor has the fixed high speed jet. I’ve fixed the same problem by first – – remove the fixed high speed jet from the carb and clean it well – that little orifice is very critical. If that doesn’t solve the problem then you can buy an adjustable high speed jet to replace it. You run the motor with the lower covers off and adjust the high speed with a screwdriver while running it wide-open on the boat. Then you can leave it alone and put the covers back on. Those replacement adjustable jets work pretty good and I think i paid $5 on eBay.
Do you have a link or a search term handy? I searched adjustable jet on eBay and got overwhelmed…
Thanks,
Cory
