Hi Folks,
I just bought a 1997 pontoon boat with a 522cc, 35hp (J35QLEUR) outboard. It had been sitting for 2 years prior to purchase
I replaced all the fuel lines from the tank to the engine, flushed gas can, added clean, fresh premium fuel and some Seafoam.
I have removed carbs, cleaned them(rebuild kits on order, 1st set was incorrect), compressions are all at 130, plugs are new(Champions).
Starts, but dies almost instantly, managed to get running in gear once and it did about 4mph flat out.
I notice there is quite a large gap between the roller on the middle carb that the throttle actuates...is that normal?
I have ordered the factory manual. but it is 2 weeks out.
Thanks in advance for any insights
