Engine loads up with carbon while trolling
shu9265 replied to shu9265's topic in Boat Maintenance and Rigging
I have been running (1) bag, but I switched over to a Happy Troller plate this year I will ask my local merc guy to have a look at carb settings. -
I have a merc cruiser 165 3.7 I/O Thing runs like champ. Goes fast goes slow. Problem is, when I slow to troll speed 1.5-2.0 My engine loads up with carbon. When I rev the engine up, it blows black junk on the water. It will do that for a few minutes and then clear itself. Are my plugs too cold? Or is this a carb issue ?

I still have the cable (stainless) But, I have no idea what is missing to make them stop or how to set them up. I will try and contact Cannon and see if they have anything on their site OK I went to cannon web site found owners manual for my riggers. Says to check ground between batteries and boat. When checking between battery and rigger cable, should have slight positive charge. Also suggests to use Weight Insulator between ball and end of cable. I will try these steps and post back with my results. -

Hello Everyone, I have an 88 Starcraft Islander Hard Top, the paint is getting quite ruff. (Ugly) My question is what is my best bet to remove the old paint so that I can apply a new paint job ? I have a 3000 PSI pressure washer, but, I don;t know if that is the preferred method. From the sound of things in the world right now, I will have plenty of time to prep and repaint Thank You in advance, shu

Hate to say it, But, The Emperor of NY has proclaimed ALL marinas and golf courses to be "non essential" and ordered closed until HE decides other wise.

The good news, the box of reels arrived today. I am going to post this here as well as in a pm to Fishy Business. Please accept my sincerest apologies, These reels are in WORKING ORDER. I screwed up and DID NOT check the settings on the drags. They were shipped to me with the drags adjusted to the wide open (no drag) position. I made a post earlier that they did not work. I was WRONG ! After I checked the drags, These reels work just fine. Fishy Business, and the rest of the members here. Please accept my apologizes for posting the wrong info. I am sorry, Bill -
