[QUOTE="Boatfloater1989, post: 381684, member: 17616"] So update on my boat.... Took it out last Saturday got it off the trailer my buddy jumped in and off we went.... For about 25 feet then a sputter and the motor died. Couldn't figure it out I could get it running then after about 20 seconds it would quit and it had to be choked to run. Being as I am a certified auto mechanic I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I think I forgot to open the tank valve so it was starving and would cut out I also noticed the motor wasn't peeing so we paddled back to shore and u pulled the lower end. Sure enough impeller was ancient. Later on Saturday I went to west marine and bought the impeller this weekend I plan on filling up a trash can and replacing the impeller tuning the carb and making sure that nothing else is wrong with it. I guess I got too excited to take it out on the water and didn't think to check the motor I just got used off Craigslist. All I have to say is everyone does something stupid every now and then [/QUOTE]
