Purchased the first family boat.....with high hopes.
Got a good deal on the rig.....even if the engine is a loss.
Problem: engine starts hard, have to use choke alot.
Boggs--have to advance throttle slow and its got a vibration(miss maybe) but once it reaches about 3,000 seems to run good.
It seems to pick up pretty nice at 3,000, but under that the vibration returns, and it seems to have a miss.
I can feel the vibration in the hull too.
I'm afraid to have a compression test done on it.
The price of taking it to the shop may be more than its worth ?? I dont want to screw myself there either.
I'm pretty mechanically inclined so hopefully with some direction from someone out there I can fix this thing.
