Thread: I dont know that I like my boat anymore!!!!

Nothing changed with the oil.
Andrew

Sorry Andy, apart from the above regarding too much oil being injected I can't think of a reason for the excess smoke.

Too much oil Tombie,its running out of the exhaust
Ringing a new boat shop tommorow,they are Merc dealers.I told the other bloke the last few launches produced a fog of smoke on startup which cured,told me my carbs needed a service,was still the same after he worked on it.
Spoke to this fellow a few weeks ago telling him Im over the bloke who has serviced my boat from new and will try his shop next time I need work done.He is an older gent,told me he doesnt get into slaging his opposition,but Im telling a story he has heard many times before.

Got to ask mate, what's it say on the port side of your transom?

It was there when I bought it,bad luck to remove it

Wanted.Good woman with bigger boat and trailer,send photo of boat.

too much oil,...

it could also be just running cold....

ID be checking the relief system on the oil injector pump, if its sticking closed you'll be over injecting it might be as simple as some old oil gumming up in the return/feed bypass.

It might respond to a some new oil with just a little ATF mixed into it then taken out and worked like a dog.

I've always maintained that 2 strokes should always be stored sans fuel and oil

I spoke to my NEW boat mechanic today,went thru my list of woes.He believes the work I had done at the last shop was not done correctly.
He thinks the carbys wernt balanced and its running lean.All problems are inter related,especially the breakdown and having to hand pump the fuel,he says they botched the job and the fuel pump has failed.At least this bloke has a tank which allows them to load test the motor.I know the other bloke only uses muffs as I saw them doing it to another boat last time I visited.
I tell you Im NOT HAPPY.
Also will miss out fishing with my Bro on the upcoming long weekend as planed,they are fully booked until the 6th March,tells me the waiting time is usually longer.

I feel for you Andrew. Not nice having to do the job twice.

I will be down that way for the long weekend with a rod and reel.

Cheers
