    clean the carbs

    Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.

    Definitely sounds like gummed up carbs. What model is the motor?

    Carbs are new as are the fuel pumps……well a few years old. Non ethanol 100% of the time……I took them apart this weekend and they are crystal clean.

    I am pretty sure I can figure it out myself. It’s more a function of time and all the other stuff I try and accomplish in a week…..I work a lot. I really wish I could find someone that would be willing to deal with it and I can do other stuff. If that does not work out, I’ll figure it out.

    Charlie Horse has a pic of you in his wallet... easy decision.

    I have a disco that needs head gaskets.
    More fuel = more boost!!

    Ha

    Disco II? Those things always blow head gaskets......aluminum block and head. I think new gaskets and bolts are about $300 for parts, if it ain’t all warped up or a slipped liner.

    Lab with the save on Mac.

    Really nice guy, worked for Tom Hughes and is still buddies with him. Said to bring it over and he would fix it no problem. If it’s beyond his ability, he said he could get Tom to come fix it.

    Appreciate it.

    Drive by his place everyday. Like others said, don't get in a hurry. Ive seen boats sitting there for months on end. Maybe the owners never came to get them but I don't think that's the case on the vast majority of them

    You welcome Chessie, if he can't fix it then nobody can! And yes, a lot of boats you see sitting there are boats people never pay for or pick up. I told Mac he should burn the bitches and clean up that lot. LOL!!!!

    Oh yeah make plenty of time for when you get there. Mac tends to talk a lot more than I do. You could be there a while! He enjoys challenges, I think this is right up his alley and he will do you well. Tell him I said hello!
