Assuming its a merc. There is a small brass screw on bottom of carb if you loosen (8mm or 5/16) then pump bulb until you see good clean gas cone from screw. There may be a small amount of oil in there but makes it incredibly hard to start. Good luck!

[stoutner]

You know it is a long battle when he first started fighting the fish Theresa was wearing jeans then by the end of the battle she was wearing shorts!!! 

[TOP SECRET]

haha yeah I figured no one wanted to sit through an hour of him fighting a fish   We forget how good form and knowing how to reel properly really makes a difference in getting these fish in!

Nick,

What size dipsys are you running out 450 and farther?  What depth do you figure they are running at? 

[TOP SECRET]

Dennis, we use the normal size 1 dipseys with a normal ring.  Best guess is 500 feet out on a 3 setting is somewhere in the 80ft range.  I haven't had them out and trolled shallow to see exactly where they are hitting though.

[Adk1]

I was told that 250' of wire out on a 1 setting would get me to 100 feet. does this sound correct? Also, do the divers come wit hthe power ring already? I used them the way they came right out of the box minus the settings

[Richard]

250 feet out on a 1 setting with the standard 1 dipsy and no ring sounds like it should be down between 70 and 80 feet. With the ring it should be down about 85 feet. I have found at about 2.7 mph gps speed on a 1 1/2 setting the 3 to 1 rule is pretty good. (ie. 50feet deep = 150 line out. likewise 60 = 180; 70 = 210; 80 = 240)
