[QUOTE="seed_81, post: 471418, member: 25379"] I guess I misunderstood what on the boat and in the water meant. I've been tuning messing with it in a tub of water. The water line sits just barely over the fins (If that's what they're called.. over the prop) Are you saying it needs to actually be on the water so the water level is higher on the shaft? I also saw another video last night where they mentioned the reeds behind the carb could not be opening/closing properly. He mentioned it was a common problem for engines that are hard to start but run fine once started which is exactly what I'm seeing Thoughts? I'll check the spark plugs this evening. [/QUOTE]
