I had the best hopes but it looks like I'm draggin the boat off to the shop.
It warmed enough today to get out & play with the outboard. It was running like crap last time out so I've had it in the driveway for a month waiting for it to warm up a little.
Turns out to be a carburation problem. Fuel was spilling out of the top carb throat (inline 4) & running down the airbox backing plate. I sprayed Power Tune & got carbon freed but no help to the root problem. The poor thing sounds like a popcorn machine :thumbsdown:
Hopefully it's a short & non bank-breaking shop visit but I'm anticipating the worst. B-O-A-T: Better Off At Tiffany's :eyes:
