Carbs?

[luckydog]

Ok been bothering Hipster and Chet about a stumbling Looper 150.
-Cleaned carbs
-sprayed with cleaner/ rinsed with gas
-don't have compressed air to blow out orifices (this could be it)
-changed plugs
-compression decent
-will not wind out
-hard to start cold
-hard to get on plain
be more vigorous with the carb. cleaning? Any tips? Suggestions? First time out had little hints of full power now, not so much...

I was warned not to soak carbs too long in cleaner as it can eat away at things...Lots of black s@#$ coming out the exhaust.

Did you find the carb that was flooding when we test fired it? It could be flooding. With the new plugs can you see a difference in any of them?

[77viper]

If you use the stuff I gave you, you don't have to worry it won't do any damage like the dip tanks will. The jets should come out nice and shiny.

I didn't notice that problem after the cleaning. I bench ran it today. Will keep my eyes peeled...

Another thing to check is the lever on the choke.

[luckydog]

I wanted to ask you about that is it supposed to be pointing down? or forward? he he when I c=got the motor it was pointing back so was getting too much fuel

[77viper]

It should be back towards the body.

[luckydog]

so it should be pointing toward the back of the boat?

obviously I am in need of a manual.
