@q66g2000hsg.googlegroups.com:
Ive reset the float levels
What? Now it's running LEAN, which is self-destructive in ANY gas
engine!
Just run the gas out of it, which you should do before storing it anyways
to stop the gas from turning to shellac in the carbs...clogging the jets
making it run even more lean to destroy it. Shut the gas off as you
approach, or just leave it run until it stalls when you get to the dock
before you lift it.
RESET those floats back where you found them! A 2-stroke engine runs
best....JUST BEFORE IT SEIZES THE PISTONS!!....MILES AND MILES FROM THAT
TRAILER! It never seizes if it detects the trailer's presence....
