pitts. pa. get togethers

Hey Bill, it is a rarity but has happened.. lol. Where do you reside/boat? I don't keep my boat in the river, but frequent the Ohio a pool down from the city but have been all around Pgh.

What's the problem with the motor.
More info needed.

Thanks Pete

John where are you located I could probably help you out on some minor things like the carb problem and such.

I'm north (Gibsonia). Details: it starts up and runs fine, but when I shut it off hot (like to pick up a skier) it won't restart. It turns over at first but then tends to lock up after a few tries. If I wait until it's warm, it'll turn but not start. Eventually, when it's cool, it'll restart. The only diagnosis I've done is to pull the plugs and there was no water. It might be the carb or starter or both or worse. Unf I'm not an engine guy. It's all original w/electronic ignition I did myself (thanks to you guys here) and regular maintenance.

When you did the EI, did you check the timing? Timing too far advanced will cause starting problems.

Yeah, adjusted it at the time but it's been a while and pretty easy to check again. Will let you know.

While hard to diagnose without being there... sounds timing related. Has this always happened since the EI upgrade?

If you are unable to fix yourself, I'd go to Johnny's Marine Services, 88 Factory Street, Monongahela, PA.

Only PCM mechanic I'd trust.

AFTER PAUL of course! A pack of smokes and a 6 pack will have you sorted!

Good for you paul!   But I don't know if I trust a mechanic who doesn't smoke...

Let go pens!

Would definitely like to see something happen​ here in the 'burgh.

While we have a ton of thing going on, always, I am always down for something! Anywhere within strikin distance of city works! Fox Chaple pool is nice..
