"Just got the boat....Hopefull
"Just got the boat....Hopefully I identified the engine enough for you...Here are the question: Not sure if the first 2 are related to the third?
1. Blower motors...What are they suppose to do? I have. It appears that mine are not correct. SHould they BLOW or SUCK air from the engine compartment? Mine currently do neither. They were plugged.
2. On the outboard portoin, there is a rubber tube that has a big crack in it...I think it is the exhaust?(or could it be the water/cooling intake) Where could I find out the basics of how the cooling/exhaust flow?
3. Boat starts right up...idles good...in gear moves good up to about 2k RPM then starts to sputter/backfire. ALOT..will die if we don't throttle down. Doesn't matter if we move up slowly or gun it.
For issue 3, I thought the spark plug cables are on the wrong cylinders? but does not backfire at low RPM?
Lastly, anyone know a hint to test run the engine without it being in water....lake is a two hour drive?!?!"
