I'll get ahold of him on here. I'm currently without a vechile anyway. Stupid Ford f350 is. 2002 and they already stopped making parts for my truck... Never buy a Ford again... Hopefully the part the dealer found is a match... Listing the truck for sale if is the right one... And getting a new truck...

No bulb problem. I'm thinking they didn't tune it? Maybe it's me walking from stern to bow and motor postion when I walk forward? Motor seems to stay same speed if I sit in the back which I'm stuck doing now that I noticed the bracket broke for the easier steer. I should know if that's the issue in a few hours after work.

Gotta make some money before I can spend more on in.

So I ended up getting the work done ( carb kit/ fuel pump )... Motor idles/runs but when trolling the speed keeps picking up and dropping down. Seems every 2 mins I am adjusting throttle... Almost pointless to have an ez-steer... Was this something the shop should of taken care off when carb was rebuilt or something else wrong? Don't think I'll be going there again... They charged me $130 for the fuel pump when Roy's quoted me $80... Carb kit price was also inflated... It also seems like a lot of unburnt fuel coming out.

Dragging fuel oil tanks in. On drone footage you could see the fuel slick coming out the marina from where they dragged it in... As if Seneca didn't have enough problems...

I have a 98 6 hp Johnson and owner manual reads 50 : 1

Ok. I didn't want it to change and be 40:1 and seize first time out [emoji29]

Can't find any info on anything past 1985. Still 50:1 after 1990? Don't want mess it up after paying for it to be fixed. Forgot to ask what mixture was when I picked up and they were closed when I got home... Tyia

All the ones I have had success with usually hook themselves. Most get off at the boat with crazy flipping they do at the surface.

I also seen the pile of motors but they also said the older ones get put further back on the list till winter because they are harder to work on. Mines old but 1970 something like a lot of the ones that were on the floor. Either way I'm crazy busy but be nice to sneak out a couple days before ice season.

Ok well I don't mind them being behind... Just bugs me no qoute yet. Someone else said they are trust worthy just wanna make sure

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Trust worthy or not? They qouted me two weeks for carb kit and lower seals... 4 weeks later no call back... No work done on motor... They didn't know where it was and still haven't given me a price on the work to be done... As long as they been in business according to website, giving me a qoute should be no big deal right?

Kendia camp ground just north of Sampson has 4 cabins with power. They can be hard to get a hold of sometimes. Tell them Mike sent you

They also have camper hook ups and tent sites.

Stopped in 45fow because seen a bunch archs on the FF... Saw a minnows rush the surface with a Pike behind it... Pike about slapped the transducer when I surfaced. Kinda got me excited... Over all I got 3 hits in 2.5 hrs. Couple follows. They grabbed the tail... No solid hits... Going to try again just before dark. Hopefully after both tournaments that are going on the traffic will calm down. Bass guys pretty polite this year.

Any reports for DeNs area... First time out in 6 weeks. Tyia

So I'm still waiting for a carb kit and fuel pump( didn't feel like doing the rebuild )... Played with the motor more. I got it to idle at lower rpms. Seems the bulb won't stay full of gas and cause the motor to die out. As long as I give the primer bulb(inline) a small squeeze to make sure it stays hard it will idle. Take it this is still the carb? I'm using a Walmart tank and Attwood fuel line... Seems like I had this issue towards the end of my old kicker. Also can't set the tank on the floor or blub goes empty... Thought there might be a leak in the lines?

Tyia.

Hank, makes sense now why they had fuel pump pressure gague in vidoe. Thanks for tip. I probably will download the manual

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Maybe it's a vacuum leak. There is a zip tie missing from the line to carb. Also the hose clamp I have on gas fitting sucks... Just made with little light.i have the gas tank above the motor so that garvitg could feed it but eventually it stalls out from lack of fuel... Order a new pump from Roy's either way. 2 screws to replace it and $80 something isn't to bad... Get the pump kit while I am at it

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

They had the gas fitting yesterday. Probably will have to order... Another week of work [emoji106][emoji23]

So yeah that's what I did this morning. Fired up. Died out when fuel ran out in the bowl. Fuel pump I assume... Any idea where to get one near Waterloo or Ithaca on a Sunday? Moore's is closed. Barret do Johnson's? Really like to try it out before back to work tomorrow... [emoji31]

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ended up getting it to fire. Didn't start. Took the fuel line off from the carb and pulled it over to see if carb was getting fuel without pumping it in by the prime bulb... No fuel. Squeeze... Fuel... Thinking fuel pump? Where can I order parts? Kickers are pretty new to me. But look simple.

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ok ty. Getting fuel. Plugs are wet. Going to try brand new ones tomorrow also. Be neat to get it running for the fall run. Been perchin' since last fall.

Sent from my Moto E (4) using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Picked up a used one potentially. Won't start obviously. Got fuel to carb. Got spark. About to check cylinder compression but that feels fine... Anything else I should check? Tyia

I know it's my speed. Looking into a 2015 6hp. Might look used but I haven't seen any. Besides if I buy brand new it should last 10+ years. I can feel the tick tick tick but I'm using a little electric tiller and can't get enough speed. I was just messing around the first day. Must been a feeding frenzy. Keeping the rock snot off the lure seems to be the problem now but they seem to bite it even covered in green goop. Either way it was fun.

Think I need a gas kicker before I get more gear. Last few times out I couldnt get the right feel. Probably couldn't go fast enough with the current or something. First night out I went out with a north wind that died down. Feel was perfect. Last few times after that it didn't seem to have the action or feel. Still caught some.
