[QUOTE="checkoutmyjunk, post: 471960, member: 25248"] A pleasant supersize came in the mail! In just 3 weeks I got my registration and stickers, two days later the title came. That is faster than I got my renewal registration for my main boat! The boat is mine, and legal! The last big piece, or so I thought. My plan was to throw the motor on the boat and hit the local creek for my first rip, but I decided to throw it on the muffs first. She fired right up and idled, then I cracked the throttle a tad and the revs didn't come back down, then it died. Pulled the carb and found this #-o [img]https://i.imgur.com/8D52zgm.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0bPVE9a.jpg[/img] Got it all cleaned up and reinstalled, no luck, not even trying to fire. I am hoping that the reeds are stuck open and I just need to clean them out, any suggestions would be appreciated at this point. Would sucking rat poop and seeds like that cause a no start issue? Would pulling the front of the motor off be a good idea? I also noticed the fuel pump was leaking and all the slotted screws were loose. I guess I have to pull the lower cowling off again. I am sick of this project! this is what I get for thinking I was getting a "deal" . [/QUOTE]
