"After seeing an amazing numbe
"After seeing an amazing number of carb related questions, the following thought occurred: Many of these question are both 'simple and obvious' problems--and I NOT trying to be insulting here. The obvious answer is that "fuel injected" car people are now trying to run a carbureted boat, and they haven't a clue as to operate a motor with a carb on it! Hell, if it doesn't start right up, and idle perfectly from a turn of the key, or stalls coming off plane, then they are lost!
What to do, what to do... Being an olde geezer that's messed with cars for over 45 years, I KNOW what a carb can do wrong and how to get the stubborn thing to behave. So, to aid those poor EFI people out there, I'm going to sit down and knock out a "Carburetor 101 Course" (and Andrew can put it inthe upcoming Q & A section). I'll start on it tonight.
