If your carb has a slotted spring loaded screw coming out of the bottom of the carb (holding the bowl on) --it is the main jet, just crack it open a 1/2 turn and try again.
If missing, you have fixed jet which needs to come out and be cleaned. If covered in goo- is time for a carb overhaul. |

Hi William, my carb has a slotted screw I tried to turn it with no change..the carb was serviced before season and was running great. I did notice when I put it in gear and gave it some throttle alot of fuel was on the water just behind the engine,kinda like it was coming out the exhaust. |

You may have a bad bottom seal on the crank shaft. They will spit all kinds of fuel into the water. I would also look down the throat of the carb when running and see if you have a lot of fuel going out the carb Then try to adjust that main jet closed, you may just be running rich in the main circuit.
Those had 3 styles of main seals- 2 were easy. |

I HAVE A 1.75 GAMEFISHER THAT WILL RUN FINE FOR APROX. 1 HOUR THEN DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. I DID GET IT TO START BY CHANGING THE SPARK PLUG, BUT IT ONLY RAN FOR 1 MORE HOUR THEN DIED AGAIN.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM? THANKS |
