" Lots of troubles... This engine sank. I pulled it up, took the plugs out and spun the engine with the fuel line connected for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then I squirted a little oil into each cylinder until I could get it home to work on it.
I cleaned all carbs, thoroughly. She's running fairly well in idle, but when I give it the gas she revs a little but wont pickup. Like its bogging. I replaced the fuel line. Float adjustment maybe?
This engine was running pretty good before it sank. I did have trouble with it on top end (nothing like now), carried to mechanic and he said it needed re-wiring - fire popping under the hood. I replaced all of the little wires under the hood before it sank.
Any suggestions on the bogging issue? I know it can be anything after being under water.
By the way, still dont know what caused it to sink. It was anchored, the plug in. I pulled it to the bank, dipped the water out, floated it across the pond to the landing and it sat several days in the water, no water inside the boat. Beats all I ever seen. "
