351 W stops after being shut off wont start

So that's why you didn't post a picture of the interior!!

Yes Peter, it does have the 283. PO had installed charcoal fleck indoor/outdoor carpet on sidewalks and floor. While not the original white vinyl, it' really looks great with the wood and white w/black piping upholstery (also not the correct red & white but looks great). PO also added two square vents (complete with holes) to the transom deck. I've replaced them with orig. clamshell type. 4 vents look better than 2!   Other than that, she is pretty straight and original. Her name is Water Log, but of course everyone calls her Woody.

This is the old girl...

And her younger attractive sister.


Need to remove improperly placed stripes and correct.

By the time you make a sleeve to fit your pylon, you might as well make a new one to match what CC made. However, you could use the top ring and finger section. Making a new one will also give you a proper connection at the keel socket.

Where are those pictures of the boat? Now that you've mastered posting pictures, you don't have any excuses!!

Richard,
You really should have not mentioned that 4 letter word!! You haven't been spending enough time reading here on the site!!

Pylons do come up for sale occasionally. Your 72 Martinique should take a regular height pylon but do check. I'm sure someone here will comment. Fabricating one may be a better choice and has been done. Then the only problem would be finding the ring and finger which can be a challenge.

Please, if you do install the pylon, use discretion as to what's hooked up to it!!    NO TUBES.

Here's just one thread on pylons.

Gotcha. I wasn't sure where that support bracket was originally. I can see that pole bending too. It seems substantial but I know what kind of pull a skier puts on it, not to mention a tube. We tubed solely behind wave runners. I'm thankful for your input because I was full steam ahead on the project.   Are CC poles tough to come by?

Brian, thank you! That worked.
   This is the pylon. The OD iOS greater than the ID of the receiver in the hull. Utilizing the receiver with a joining cuff and a stainless plate spanning stringers should be rock solid.

That is by far the most common culprit to the "poor hot starting" issue... Temp actually does not play a role in that case. Do as joe says and do some testing. Yes pumping the throttle is just adding to the "flooded" condition (i.e. excess fuel in the inlet manifold and combustion chamber). Every time you pump the throttle the accelerator pump squirts more fuel into the inlet manifold. Before fuel injected cars we learnt to remedy the "flooded" condition by holding the foot to the floor (throttle plate wide open) while cranking the engine to clear.

And the reason I told Bob this in the 3rd post!!!!

Back to the dock I pulled off the spark arrestor and saw fuel dripping from the primary on the starboard side of the carb. Now What.? Rebuild the carb? I put the old coil back on but did not have time to test before the rains came. Commodore Bob

8122pbrainard wrote: Bob, It's great that you found CCfan and welcome. The normal request is for pictures. We'd love to see some. A diary entry would be great as well. Make sure it's not flooding. When you shut it down, look down the throat of the carb. (remove the flame arrestor). If you see gas dripping, the carb most likely needs a rebuild.

1.) Towards the upper left, click on "Member Control Panel" with the little picture of the gear.

2.) When you get to that screen, click on File manager. It will take a few seconds to switch to that tab

3.) Find the photo you want, highlight and do a single click. You'll then get a preview. And a link with the file name. This link is the moneymaker.

4.) In my case, I've got one called Carb_005.jpg. Now, knowing this alone isn't helpful, but if I click on the link Carb_005.JPG I'll go to a brand new page with the full address in the address bar:
http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/uploads/6518/Carb_005.JPG

5.) Copy this address, now paste it in between these tags:
{img}http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/uploads/6518/Carb_005.JPG{/img}

6.) Now, I used squiggle brackets for demonstration purposes. Those won't work. Just changes all your { to [ and your } to ] and you should have the picture directly posted.

7.) Por ejemplo:

Richard,
I've run into the same problem when a picture is already in my file manage. I don't know if it's the correct way to handle it but I've just gone into my computer and changed to name of the picture. I'm sure there's another way and someone I'm sure will come along and give some advice.

You haven't done the recommended testing!!

Bob,
How about starting over and reading this complete thread (from the top of page #1)? It seems that you are not following any of our suggestions.

Their intent is to vent any possible fuel vapor to prevent a potential explosion. Keep it mind there are plenty of engines out there that start under hotter conditions. A good example would be one out in the hot sun in the desert.

JoeinNY wrote: removing the heat from the box through a fresh air blower is not a fix for anything, if your cooling system is working correctly you can remove more heat from that engine with the unlimited amount of cool water available than you could ever remove by blowing cold air across the outside of the motor.

Richard,
Use the "post reply" and not the "quick reply". Click on the icon of the tree with the up arrow. A box will come up allowing you to select the picture off your computer.

This is the pylon. Beautiful piece but not what i've seen as factory equipment and not sized to fit my factory receiver. OD is similar to OD of receiver in hull. I"m thinking that the attached bracket shown in pic will come off and not be used. Pole and new stainless stringer plate would be welded to become one unit. Cuff welded to bottom of pylon to fit down over receiver and pin secure.
