carburetor

Good evening, I have a boat with twin 454 Crusaders that I can’t seem to figure out my idle issue. I have been dealing with it for about a year now. The starboard engine starts fine and it will idle, although it has a flutter, and seems to idle higher than my port motor. The issue I am having...

I have a 200 Signature 1994 Sea Ray, we just picked it up. When picking it up the boat ran on the land with the water ear muffs on but we took it out and launched it and it did not run. Then we rebuilt the carburetor timed it and set everything once again the boat ran on land with the ear...

Hi all, Due to boatloads of help from y'all, old girl is on the water. Actually left the dock, and returned to it under her own power! Small miracles. Took it easy most of the trip around the lake, but a few times when I was a bit froggy and advanced the throttle past 3000 rpm, she would...

I searched the Forum but only found this issue with fuel injected 5.7s. We have a 97 Signature 190 with the 5.7 H.O. carbureted engine. Up till recently she's started completely without issue. Hot or cold. Last two trips we've had problems once out on the water trying to get her to start after...

Several post about carburetor vs fuel injection, performance and efficiency, definitely some advocate for MPI and other love Carburetors.. and the undecided ones.. I think I will have the answer (at least I will have it soon) Here we go! I'm schedule to do a general maintenance and clean up...

I have gas coming out on to the water and would like to know where it is coming from. It is getting out some were anyone have an idea as to where. thank you:smt024

I did a terrible thing. We ran the boat all summer long and had a great time with it. At the end of the season I filled up the tank, forgot to add Stabil, then let it sit for a few months. I went to start it up the other day (it's 70* down here :grin: ), and it wouldn't start. Here at the...

My Westerbeke generator will crank but will not start. If I prime the carb it fires up until the prime is used up. I pullled supply line to carb and fuel lift pump is working. I also pulled off carb and cleaned and looked for blockage, but it looks ok. I also verified there is no fuel coming out...

Any ideas on this problem? I like to tow tubers and skiers on my 350 mag 5.7L Merc, but I'm having a problem getting a fast enough throttle response when I goose the throttle. If I slowly add power, it comes up appropriately. However, on quick throttle-ups to get a skier out of the water, the...
