[QUOTE="checkoutmyjunk, post: 474504, member: 25248"] Against my better judgement, I took the motor out to the barge without thorough testing on the engine stand. In the water it fired up easily and had a little trouble with the idle. Then after a few revs it started to back fire every 20ish seconds. It would make a pssst sound, shudder and then smooth out. It seemed to work fine at speed. So I pulled it off and loaded back in my boat to take it to the mechanic. I assume the carb needs cleaned and fresh gaskets. I did manage to install the prop before I put it in the water. The solas prop fit like a glove so it has that going for it. [/QUOTE]
