Triple Carb Rebuild
« on: August 21, 2015, 06:24:52 AM »
Well, I started yesterday and so the process begins....



Plastic cover removed and top carb removed.  Going to try and do one at a time since I hopefully wont have to mess with the linkage too much and have to fine tune all the adjustments.  First time rebuilding carbs and heard it was easy, but I even hate taking my reels apart to clean them so you know where I'm at.
I just hope this fixes the issue!

I keep hearing about a carb jet screwdriver, but am wondering if a small flathead will work for this also....

Make sure to strip the old gasket residue off completely before putting on the new  ;)

Well, that was a bunch of crap and it is worse than before since I can't even launch the damn thing.  It runs great without a load, but stalls immediately when I put it in gear...  Time to go kill something to get my aggressions out...

Are you sure a fuel line isn't getting pinched when putting it in gear ? does it stall in reverse too ?

Forward and reverse. I watched it also as I put it in gear. Ran great in gear out of the water.

The surf treated me well tonight.  It made up for the disappointing boat run.   8)
