    1973 Evinrude dies out when in slow throttle or shift....

    Thanks for the response Pappy! I will give that a go when I have some free time!

I know my jet ski acted up big time before...

    I think i messed up my motor.....

    Thanks for the info. I have only taken it out once and got a killer deal on it. I traded a guy my 1995 seadoo xp for his 16 ft quachita flat bottom, trailer, motor and $250 on top since he couldnt get the motor running. I changed the spark plugs and she fired right up. So I got money to put into...

    I think i messed up my motor.....

    Thanks for the tip. I will go look for it now! I think I will stick around on this site. Great help. Once this motor is running I am planning on adding some mods to my 16 ft flat bottom. Maybe a deck and some storage. We will see. I dont want to make the boat to heavy to use with my motor...
