Short and simple ... <'TK><
 

There you go TTitan 27. Carry it over to TK and the guessing game would be over. Save yourself a lot of frustration. TK, I know your business is called "OLD outboard Barn" Do you also do work on newer, larger outboards, or do you mostly stick to antique type engines? Thanks. And thanks for this forum also.

Thanks, yes that does make sense. The carb isn't really difficult to remove once you have learned how because you have to remove the starter bracket and a few other things. I paid my dues on that last time so this time it would take maybe 5 min to remove. Hopefully I will have a chance to look at it this Friday.

To old and beat up !! <'TK><
 

I do brain surgery over the phone or internet. Call for pricing!!!

Thanks TK. Will do. I will probably wait till my fishing season is over if possible. That is usually about September when I get ready for archery season. My hunting lease is in Lebanon so it will be handy.

Probably safer for the patient that way. :)

BTW, is Merv a patient of yours?

The "loading up" has to do with the needle valve and it's correlation to the seat. If you aren't going to do anything with it until the fishing season slows down, you might want to run some Sea-Foam through it. It is a miracle drug, especially for engines that sit up for awhile between uses. The recommended usage is 1 oz per gallon, but that is a maintenance dose. It claims for the initial dose, use 2 oz per gallon, but I used 3-4 oz per gallon in all of my weed eaters, blowers and motors this Spring. They run like new.

Thanks, TK. I wasn't sure about that. Glad that you stay busy with the tillers. I totally understand the non desire to "climb in and out and under consoles..." I'm 57 and pretty dang arthritic. I would think that it is much more satisfying, and fun, to work on the older motors. Thanks a lot for the referral of Larry Hagan. I am not having any problems now, but in the future I will know who to call. Thanks.

Phffffft!
