[seaeagle]

Hello all, as some of you might know i have been doing up a stejcraft on a tight budget, heres the update, the DAMN THING WONT START...lol, i had the leg extened to fit have put on morse steering, full wiring loom, fish finder and 27meg radio, took it out for the first time last sunday and it went for a while( ran great in the backyard for hours) but didnt like much throtle under load, so i had the carby redone and new plugs, now it wont fire at all, it has fuel has spark has everything where it should.... so looks like its land based still......

What about the fuel mix? is it old fuel?

Is there any water in the fuel filter?

What a bugger,
I had much the same problem with my last boat it ended up being a tiny whole in the fuel line that was sucking in air, but I only found it out after paying $700 having the motor rebuilt, there are a lot of rip off mechanics around and I found the biggest one.

Karren :wink:

Where did you leave the keys for the limo????

Crap lifestyle.

Airport lounges, airline food, everybody calling you at 2am as they dont know what timezone its in.

I am looking to go trout fishing in scotland, never tried it before, I still laugh when I read you posts about fly fishing.
