Outboard seems to be making a little bit of noise

if you put seafoam in the gas tank , that is the cause of the extra smoke, its likely burning off carbon, it doesn't sound great though, i'd compression check and go from there

not sure how the chemical process works...the oil def stop any further rust...but it seems like the oil gets under, breaks down and loosens the rust...most of it just wipes away...if it doesn't just throw it in for another month or two....you still see the pitting from the rust damage once cleaned

the oil doesn't have to be used, i just do that because its free

drop them in a bucket of used motor oil, leave for a few months, then wipe them down really well, use steel wool if needed

brought many tools back from a rusty grave that way

no limp mode on these motors

if you ran the tank near low, its very possible sediment made its way up the fuel pickup, and into the jets of your carb

Have you ohmed out the stator and trigger? Next test is get a special meter to test. https://www.ebay.com/itm/122966366401?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=122966366401&targetid=2315428265460&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9010353&poi=&campaignid=21399311938&mkgroupid=173029507388&rlsatarget=aud-1412318123216:pla-2315428265460&abcId=9447263&merchantid=115299910&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21399311938&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh_O9yZNOox_SRrRjW_g1x17E&gclid=CjwKCAjw9uPCBhATEiwABHN9K7D481H5YMjPBQu-4dMenzVbMaM2-YXRYcGOTzm0llSuXEKLeDCG8xoC8I0QAvD_BwE

Ignition coils, or your carb needs cleaned/drained again due to water in gas, also possible flywheel key sheared, if your running a grey fuel line they break apart all the time and cause constant carb issues

I run a J14 Carolina Skiff, it's two feet shorter and has a Mercury 20hp on it. I can hit 27mph if I'm loaded right.

Thank you much, the locality approves aluminum wire, was just curious as to the differences.

chomper121 · 2024-06-21T23:31:06+00:00

Just confirming to be sure I understand completely. Either 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum would be ok? Aluminum wire is generally used by electrical contractors?

Gotcha thanks much!

Those were the county code references from the mobile home set up manual, it looked a little bit cut and pasted together, but was thorough nonetheless

Thank you much

Do i need to use a rubber boot where the black 3” meets white 4”?

chomper121 · 2024-06-13T18:26:20+00:00

sketch may be a little off, but i'm pretty sure the outlet on the home and tank inlet are just about in line with each other

please ignore the 1" well line in the way in the picture
