Steve.e

did that and there is no sold/closed option anywhere. There is an edit topic at bottom, clicked that and goes to my post and doesn't allow me to do anything. The dots are at top again, just goes into a repeating cycle.

Opened up my original add to close and there is no edit choice at the bottom., only at three dots at top right. Clicked that and there is no full editor choice at bottom either. What am I missing? reards, Steve

I think a lot of Robins never left. I've been seeing them all winter long. We're going to get nailed probably sooner or later.

I misread, I thought it was x17. Not the right one. thanks anyways.

Where are you located? I just destroyed my original one same size I believe. Thank you low water at sandy creek.

I hear the lake flipped, what would be the best strategy for finding mid ten salmon for winter freezer stockpile? I'm thinking out deep where the temps may be more stable. What's your opinions guys based on experience. Thanks in advance for the help.

I remove my probe when fishing lakers after I check temp. lost a set up on hemlock once, never again.

A lot of posts have pointed to carb and or pump. I'm dropping the carb off today for rebuild and replacing the pump which could possibly be the original over 21 yrs old. Last things it could be short of being an electronic issue. Thanks for all the input , hopefully we're done here!!!

I want to replace the fuel pump also but don't want a mercury one if the internal coating is a problem according to Bruce's post. Any recommendations for a replacement aftermarket pump?

SamonSez, thanks for that info, I will definitely give him a call, can't go wrong with his experience!

Bruce did you have to take apart the carb and clean out the ports etc.

Privatedata, I drained tank, checked fuel lines to pump, replaced fuel pump filter and installed a water separator all in last 3 weeks. Heath, could be the module, Tom at east fork said the same. Hopefully not. They are NLA, hard to find and mucho expensive, I believe the coil is part of the module. Pump is mechanical.

Bruce, would your boat stall and then start right back up and stall again when accelerating? Did it happen during an outing with it seeming ok for awhile then act up? What kind of pump did you replace it with, OEM or another brand?

Dusty it has an electronic ignition, some kind of digital type only used for a couple yrs. With a control module also. Bozeman, thanks for the info, might get another carb , get back on the water quicker.

Maybe the carb does need rebuilding again, I'll try to find somebody to do it, I never have. Thinking of replacing the pump also incase of an internal issue, but seems to be OK, there is pressure in the lines when I pop one off the separator.

Just asked tom Barbera if he rebuilt the carb and said he did 6 yrs ago when he had the boat for a few weeks. I bought it from him. The boat is not heavily used, limited to lake O wave action.

Had the boat for 6yrs, no carb work by me. this issue has happened 3xs exactly the same. Does act like it's running out of gas but over 1/2 tank each time. I can run it the next day in the driveway and it fires up and runs, just did again just now , ran perfect. I just cleaned the large round connector above the ign coil and wires, they were corroded last year and I cleaned and put diaelectric grease on pins. The grease looked like it migrated a little between pins so i just cleaned with alcohol and blew all the grease out and wiped. Did that first before running just now, ran great but has before after getting home. Might try again tomorrow, see what happens.

Hi all, I have an issue with my 3.0 130hp mercruiser. Motor out to fish and runs ok out, troll for 3 to 4 hrs and it dies. I can immediately start back up and go 30 to 50 yrds at ~8mph and then it dies again. Try to go faster and it dies immediately. Can do this all the way in to get back + using my kicker. Checked fuel system to pump for crude, replaced pump filter, installed inline water separater, replaced plugs. Happened again pretty much identical to first instance. Seems like something might be getting hot like the coil maybe? Maybe the pump has a diaphram that is failing? Carburetor rebuild? Almost the same as a lawn mower that needs the float valve cleaned out. By the way the coil is almost impossible to find and I assume expensive since no longer available, and ignition control module is 760-820 bucks-yikes. this has a digital elect ignition. can it be converted to a standard elect ignition? Any help will be appreciated greatly.

If you have a few people on the boat, as you wind in your line, have someone with a smooth metal rod of some type rub the top of the line as the fleas come to the rod and they fall right off pretty much with just a couple few swipes. Works good for me on all types of line.
