Guys, guys. This was a nice congenial boater thread. No need to ruin it. Ryan is asking good questions and should receive good answers.

Now back to Evinrudes. I have heard that the reeds can deteriorate over time. But sometimes they can build up with carbon not allowing them to seal correctly. Regardless, I believe that the reed is on track with the troubleshooting.

Guys, guys...Donne' started the ****. No one else.

But, I should have had more sense than to respond to the dumb ****, so my bad!

Ryan, sorry about that. Keep us posted. This is interesting.

So over the weekend I took her out on to Pewaukee Lake (larger lake so
I could have a bit of anonymity while smoking up the place) and did a
double treatment... Put some in the gas tank again and sprayed some
right into the carb.

Smoked like hell, but when it was done, the motor DID run better with
more power at high speeds (she planed out quicker), low speeds sounded
somewhat better and the sneezing frequency was reduced by about 50%,
basically from about once every 2-3 seconds to about once every 4-5 or
so seconds).

I'll take it out again this weekend and do another treatment just to
see if it reduces anymore and I'll bring somebody with me so I can
adjust the carb while they drive.

I'm not very optimistic that I'll get off that easy, but its a game
plan to follow!

Ryan

Have fun and let us know how it turns out.
