[QUOTE="Gator McClusky, post: 284765, member: 9986"] Tried to start her and now the carbs are acting up. Sneezing, Won't stay running without throttle. Took the foot off (didnt sound right, kinda like a car with no muffler) and found burnt oil in the exhaust tube. (?) In short, I hooked the hose up to the water tube and turned the water on. I have full flow in both ports. Actually, I had better flow on the port side. I put my finger in either port and the flow was the same on both sides. Water was coming from the p hole as well. Should I Plug the starboard side with my finger again and see if the p hole runs dry? could it be plugged from the thermostats to the p hole on that one side? I tried to do it with it running but I could not keep her running and get back there to see the water flow. I know the pump is pumping water. I just wonder if I should try using a barrel or take it to the river and try her out at the boat launch just to see the difference from hose to submerging the foot. I wonder if thats my issue or would it heat both sides evenly? [/QUOTE]
