97 150hp v6 carburetor.
Motor was blown when I bought it.
I rebuilt this motor myself using manual.
4 pistons and cylinders were fine.
1 cylinder was bored out next size and I used a new piston for this.
1 cylinder destroyed and sleeved to std size I used a good used piston to replace.
New rings.
New gaskets.
Carbs and fuel pump cleaned and verified.
Carbs do not have mixture screws.
New fuel lines.
Removed auto oiling components.
I left all of those small rubber hoses.
Removed idle stabilizer component.
Now using 50:1 in tank.
New voltage regulators aftermrkt.
New switch boxes aftermrkt.
Cleaned up old wiring.
New battery cables.
Good battery.
New impeller.
Primer bulb pumps till firm and I hear fuel going into carbs. No leaks.
Motor cranks fine and starts for 1 second and stops.
Repeat
Repeat
Have not spent much time on it but now I want to get going and see what's my next move.
Where do you think I should start to get it running?
