Carb Question?

IMO, I would start with the basics...timing points, plugs wires etc. Cheap fuel will also cause hard starts. If you are running low octane you may need to turn down the timing a bit to compensate. Be methodical about the process to avoid shooting in the dark.most folks just start turning screws without checking the basics.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hey thanks guys! No pissing match, this all for ***************s and giggles. My little problem I think of the hard starting when hot is from not being tuned. I think one or maybe more our not firing properly. Wires may corrode through sitting over time. Which cause miss fire and and takes a full charged battery to the limit. But my boat runs real good out of the hole, and top end, just couple niches in the starting. I get it worked out.

It is a "open" ticket anytime on that coors light..

We talking speed for fun, can I cheat then? Can I borrow my friends Baja 332 with twin 502's, supercharged. He run up there about 80+..

if your refering to the fuel and water seperator then yes that needs done as well.

Michael,
You did miss something! You haven't been paying attention! Lee's been making some statements about other boats owners always seeing his transom because his boat is so fast. Then when the small minor detail of his choke not working came up, the comment was made "tongue in cheek" about that being the reason for the speedy boat!!!

Pissing match? I don't see it that way. It was just some poking on the speed subject and explained as such. You know how the speed subject gets here!! I feel Lee understands that now as well.

I am so sorry guys you meet a very confident person. All I want to do is fit in a mechanic. If it involves some nuts, and a little muscle, well I am in. I love mine dearly. It is my first one, as I can see some of you guys are die hards and think you guys are great, but damb, can I get some mouth and enjoyment. I do want too, this is the best site. I hope we can all get down and drink a cold one and talk CC.

I don't typically talk CCs when I'm gettin' down, drink cold ones yeah.

Do you get an "open container" ticket with a Coors light?

All of the guys here are great to help out, but when you open the door to get hammered like you have, look out. Relax, ask questions, give opinions, have a great time, just loose some of the my d__k is bigger than your d__k attitude & learn from some of the best resources of Correct Crafts around (not me by the way). Now, if you make it over to Atlanta I will let you buy the first round!

Sounds great! I will be more on the humble side and enjoy yalls company. I apologize ski for the comment, some people just think they know it all. Hey, no prob on the drink, I have family in Meritta GA, and go to Lake Lanierr all the time. Long as you drink coors light..

I'd like to see you run with the big boys!!

I never said I was the fastest boat,you guys need to listen.I just said mine runs with best of them. Which could mean that not the 454's or the one's that have dumped lots of time and money in there's. Not bigger heads, and all that fancy ***************. But for a bone stock 351, mine is very healthy. I am not that stupid to even think of saying some of these Nautiques on here, that I can out run them. I know I get laughed at. I have a good mechanic in Austin that is a friend of mine, and knows my boat in and out.He has told me many times that it is one of the best looking and running Natiques he services.
I am so sorry guys you meet a very confident person. All I want to do is fit in on here.I am not a mechanic, or very mechanical. If it involves some nuts and bolts, and a little muscle, well I am in. I love boats, I grew up on direct inboard boats, and love mine dearly.It is my first one, as I can see some of you guys are die hards and own several generation CC.I am think you guys are great, but damb, can I get some help when I ask a question. Instead of being bad mouthed and cut down. If not, that is fine, I can take my Nautique problems and enjoyment elsewhere. I do not want too, this is the best site. I hope we can all get along and one day we will all get to sit down and drink a cold one and talk CC.

Tuffy!

I been told that the choke is open at first when cold, then once the boat heats up the choke closes.
Hey Chris, the top of the carb, you can take the top of the carb off to see in there.You will see fuel correct. How much do you want to see in there? I bet with my little problem, my boat is getting to much fuel when it is hot. The hard cranking problem. We will see Wednesday, I am heading to the lake then.

I will also check that too. Thanks

+1 on what 79 said. You may want to make sure the choke is turning off all the way.

Well good point, I dont want to make a simple fix turn into having a bad summer at the lake!
