Thanks much for the feedback Frank.

I’m definitely aware of the turtlemotor’s tendency to breathe their own exhaust. The exhaust bellows on this motor are in good shape.

To your point, this one was running in a barrel with its cover off. I do also have a couple extra breathing holes under the handle in the cover to get more clean air in when the cover is on. Will try your suggestion and run it Sunday on the lake and see how it goes.

I did just run it again a moment ago. It runs great in the barrel when essentially level (highest setting on the tilt adjustment), but coughs pretty badly when on its lowest tilt setting in the same barrel 20 seconds later, nothing but the tilt setting changed….
