ok...got the old motor back from an uncle that "fixed it" over 5 years ago put a good tank on it and it cranked right up...
went out last weekend and it ran awesome... i was expecting it to give us the problem it used to....
went out this weekend and it left me sittin on the bayou like it used to...luckily i went with my neighbor to his camp on blind river and he was able to tow me home...
so this is what it does and i think it could be an easy fix....
when i was younger we would take the intercoastal to laccasine refuge. thats about a 30 min ride...get in the refuge and ride about another 20 min to the good fishing. then if the fishin wasnt good and we left to go somewhere else it wouldnt start...eventually it would...had it serviced same thing...it left me and my brother a few times...and had to get towed home.
this past weekend and before it ran super great...sounded goood ran strong...
rode about 45min to neighbors camp...hung out and fished for a few hours nothing biting so me and the wife went for a cruise in the reserve....found a spot that looked like there were fish so i cut the motor...we fished for about an hour...no fish..lol...
went to crank up the motor to head back to the camp and the B*tch woudnt start.
cranked and cranked and cranked....got towed back to the landing...cranked and cranked and cranked...nothing...
got home from work today...pumped the gas...pulled the choke and that baby cranked right up...
its got to be something simple...no doubt...but what....im planning on bringing it in to have it checked...BUT.....
do any of you have any ideas on what could do this....maybe some areas to check...i really havent dove in it...but i would like to at least see if i can fix it.
please help! [-o<
