"Another sad story before Chri
"Another sad story before Christmas… hello guys just here to tell you another sad story, I finally came back to Arizona after been gone for 3 months, I went to work on my 200 hp Johnson right where I left off, I was in the process of trying to reduce the amount of smoke my piece of s**t produces at idle so I went with larger idle jets, and just started “sneezing” and for the most part still smoked, well just messing around with it I checked compression, got only 70s on all six, yeah way way low, I’m just bummed as I do no see the light at the end of this tunnel as you might remember I replaced my two old 115 Mercs for a single 200 hp Johnson/Evinrude, thinking I would be up grading so I poured thousands of dollars on installation and the cost of the motor itself, only to end up just as bad as I was before, now I don’t know what to do even if I wanted to get rid of the boat I could not since I have put so much money on it, now I just mad and frustrated as after a year of constantly working on this thing I still not had a pleasant memory to tell… can anybody thing of anything??? Would re-ringing it would do? or should I do full rebuild?
Some of the thing it does are:
Does not revs over 42000 rpms
Idles poorly
It does starts right up
On the left side (portside) middle carb you can see little gas running in the middle of the carb throat(at idle) I guess that could cause rough idle... and you can see small particles of fuel being spitted from that carb as the throttle opens up…
any ideas?"
