haha I sold a yellow ATV to get this boat. I was looking for a bass boat and saw this. I've always wanted a ski boat and love the sound out of these old classics. It was completely restored like 5 years ago and the last owner kinda let it sit to long. I'm picking it up Saturday cant wait to start scrubbing it down!!

That's a pretty boat. I guess that engine is a 302 or is it a 289? Showing the gaps in my knowledge.

It's actually a Chrysler 318 and painted the wrong color!

Hah! I knew I didn't have a clue!
My first car had a 318 in it. VERY strong running motor. Been too long for me to recognize it, but I should at least have noted where the distributor is. Then, the heads/deck shape tells you it ain't GM small block. Maybe then I could of at least guessed right. Oh well, that's what happens when you start writing before thinking. |

Hey guys thanks for all of your help. I've taken the boat out 4 or 5 times with no more leaks, but I'm noticing after making a few pulls and sitting a few minutes that the boat doesn't want to idle well and goes dead alot. Any ideas on this one would be much appreciated.

Carb & ignition! Start at one end & work your way thru to the other side of the engine.

How often should the carb be adjusted?

Tiger, I actually lost track of your setup. This is a carbureted boat? Protec ignition or traditional?

Carb yes. The rest I'm not sure only owned it for a few months. How do I check on the ignition? Spoke to a friend of mine that is fantastic working on cars and he said he could rebuild my carb with extra parts he had from drag racing so it would be high end stuff.

When this happens, and it starts, do you get any black smoke? Sometimes the carbs will keep dripping after shutdown, and then load the engine up with gas. This would indicate a needle&seat issue or rebuild. Run the boat at speed, then slow down in neutral and leave it running. Open the engine cover, then remove the plastic carb cover and flame arrestor (be careful of pulleys etc.). When you can get a clear look down the barrels of the carb, shut the motor off. You should get little to no dripping out of the booster venturis. If it keeps dripping, then you're loading up with fuel and causing problems. Replacing your flame arrestor bolt with one of these Thumbscrews will make removing and replacing your flame arrestor much easier. |
