Thread: Working on the Tinnie

Marcus.
If it keeps flooding and that fuel is below the carb I would suspect an issue with the float or its adjustment.Have you put a carby kit thru it??? Would be money well spent.In car carbies left for years you often see the copper float has collapsed.Unsure if marine carbies use the same floats or neoprene ones.

Cheers guys,
Have not done a kit in it at all Andy, but as you say, well worth thinking about. One would think it should be ok, even though it hasnt run for so long. The engine was fully rebuilt about 12 months prior to my buying it. I let it cool right down and started her again,,, no problems, and I'm about to go out and do it again now.

I've marked where the water is coming out. Two sort of look normal, as you say, the one under the cavity plate, but theres also one about the same level, but at the rear of the leg.
Then theres water coming out at the front,, kind of looks like over flow at the top
Then, at the very front, down low, there seems to be another outlet, although I'm looking at it thinking its over flow directly from the pump

The one at the rear looks like water spraying from a pinhole,is it a machined hole????
Just looked at my outboard(merc 75hp 2 stroke),it has plastic tubing joining in the same general spots.Worth googling images of yours to see what the same outboard looks like.

Thanks Andy, I'll have a look tomorrow, but at this point I think thay all are machined/cast holes.
I have just never noticed them before,,
I'm still debating if I'll try and buy the manual I found on the net. If I had one I could work it all out a lot easier. Its just at $80, seems a bit much
