"I broke the transom mount on my 1968 3.5 hp gamefisher model 217-599. anybody know where I may find a used one, CHEAP!! maybe someone with a old salvage motor or something, I'm pretty broke right now so I need one I can afford. this got broke in an act of dumd--s on my part. I guess it's true s--t happens. and any opinions about what may be wrong with motor,
Motor has been starting on first or second pull and running great in test tank. I went fishing yesterday. I put the boat in the water and began a pre-crank before getting adrift, The motor did not want to start, it acted like it was getting no fuel. I removed plug and put in a little pre-mix fuel and it started but did not want to power up to full throttle as it warmed up it went to full but acted sluggish and after awhile gas begain to dribble from the little hole on the side of carb the motor would start up ok after the first start but continued to run sluggish as described I have done a carb cleaning and kit before going out like I said it has been running great in the test tank at home.WTH is going on with it?? any ideas?? also primer bulb will not get hard it remains squishy fuel lines are new but not the bulb maybe a bad check valve there in bulb????????"
