Problem 51 Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2368 Printed Date: November-23-2024 at 3:39am Topic: Problem 51 Posted By: nate Subject: Problem 51 Date Posted: August-30-2005 at 10:49pm You guys have help with all my problems( engine that is ). My next question is why did my electric choke fry my new $40 spring ? I bought this 1985 Nautique thinking I could run it for a year and maybe make some money! Boy was I wrong. This engine is giving me problem after problem. Fix one go to the next. I wish I had money for a new one! Any help as to why my choke spring fried would be great. I took the carb off to get it rebuilt because the motor idles like crap. Thats after I found out that I put an extra quart of oil in it and ran it for a while. I thought 5 qts was the norm. I should have read the stinking manual. I'm not a mechanic but learning fast.

If you did not leave your key on and your choke fried anyway check the choke coil vent. It has a little screen that must not be plugged up. The little screen is behind a brass nut that looks like a copper tube belongs in it. When I first discovered mine I thought I was missing a copper or steel tube. They just look that way. ------------- Happy owner of a '66 and a '68 Mustang
