Got the johnboat motor running and went to the river. It runs OK. Found it it runs alot better with the cover off so I need to open up the bottom pan so it can get more air I guess. The bottom pan that came with this motor had a 2X3 opening below the carb and mine has no hole at all except for the small 1/8 drain holes so it must be starving for air. It also looks like I have some leakage between the foot and the motor where I reused that gasket. Guess I'll have to pull it apart and get a new gasket or I may have a restricition there where my motor had a plate inside and the 25 hp motor didn't. Hey at least it runs good. RM

This thing has kicked my butt.......LOL. Had to swap alot fo stuff over. I pulled the motor off the foot tonight and found the gaskets under the plate are bad. Guess I'll try and find some or make some. I enlarged the air intake holes in the base plate too so it should get more air for the carb now. Now that I've had some experience with how it's built it is getting easier.......LOL. Think I'll stay with the race cars and let you play with these things.......LOL. RM
