NRG finnally got the motor running good

[NRG]

Hey guys and gals ..
I just got back from Chester Frost .. to try out the motor .. after new to me heads, new head gaskets, new water jacket gaskets, new thermostats and gaskets , new power head gasket, went for a run up from Chester frost to near the Nuke.. ran up and down the lake a few times .. I dont know how fast I was going I need to borrow a gps to see how fast shes running .. felt like about 45-50 but thats just a wild guess.. but was the first real run in here Ive been on since being done with the boat. emoParty emoParty
I was gonna fish a lil while but I didnt have the batteries charged up, and then realized I had no life jacket in the boat at all emoDoh didnt want to get stopped for a routine safety check and not have a life jacket anywhere in the boat .. not good!

How did it do today???? I seen your truck and trailer at CF.......

 

[NRG]

Ran pretty good .. a little quirky when cold, and getting going it sorta stumbles around like its not getting enough gas, but in a few seconds it quits and takes off .. the more I run it the better its getting once it gets going its fine.
I dont know how to resolve the issue... but for now it works .. maybe you have answer ?
It does appear to be missing some
I ran several miles yesterday the more I ran it the better it did

Could be the link and sync, dirty carbs, electrical issue, ect. Did you soak the carbs or just spray them out with carb cleaner?

 

[NRG]

Soaked them first time, and didnt put fuel filter on, then some crap in the gas tank or lines got back in the carbs, so I took then off and cleaned again, and even better the second time .. the carbs are spotless now.
I know the rectifier is bad, and one of the coils casing is cracked on the outside, didnt think the rectifier had any thing to do with running , just charging, the coil could be an issue ?
Im going to order a new rectifier this week .. they are cheap for this motor 21-35 depending on where you get it .. I have some coils from another motor they look like they are the same as what is on mine ?

Link and sync wasnt done cause I didnt change anything just remove the wire from the plastic lock, and put back on , unless it was wrong in the first place it is the same as it was

Do what I told you on the phone this a.m. Worse case is come get a set of my carbs and try them. It may have some corrosion in the passages that you can't get out thus making them junk. If you want I can dig them out. I know of 1 set of the same V-4 carbs. I may have some big bore carbs for it. Been so long since I opend up my OMC crate, I don't know what I have!!!!LOL!!! But can tell you where all my mercury stuff is though!!!!!!!! emoSmile
