Hooked up to the boat and me and Ryan (my 5 year old) headed to the lake. Had to stop by the station and get snacks and drinks as that is our habit. Finally got the boat in the water and it was a bit hard to start, but it finally did. I idled out and it died. Could smell the gas so I popped the cover and pumped the bulb and I got gas leaking from the carbs. SH*(&^%*(&%T - Back to the house.
Trolling motored it back to trailer and back to the house we go. Ran to the marina grabbed 6 carb kits , Pulled everything apart, cleaned all of them and reassembled. Found one the the BB had fell out of the weep hole so I quick repaired (Ill order another one). 2 1/2 hours later Me and my lil buddy headed back to the lake. Put the boat back in and she fired right up. No air or fuel leaks! We ease out and she gets about 1/2 way on plane and it cuts off. Started back up and shes only running on 5 cyl if that.
Shaking real bad so I know its electrical.
Dropped the trolling motor & back to the trailer. Making things better I didn't pull the trolling motor fast enough and the prop hit one of the bunks and it sheered the cotter pin.
NICE!
I decided it was a good time for a break. Let Ryan swim a few while I fixed the trolling motor. I pulled her back to the house & slid her in the garage & called it a day. Guess Ill start chasing the electrical tonight.
