Hello all, this is my first post.

So I bought this boat about 3 weeks ago. I've already done some re-wiring on it the motor. Honestly, it needs a new wiring harness. Can you buy them?

Well, here is my most important question. The motor is VERY cold natured....it seems to only be running on 2 or 3 cylinders until it "warms up", then it runs pretty good all day.

It will periodically die when going from Nuetral to forward...but it will pull my 220lb butt out of the water on a slalom ski with 4 adults and a 5 yr old on the boat.

So while debugging, I noticed the middle carbaretor is dripping fuel out of the bottom...and the engine smokes alot until I get it going good.

Compression is about 90Psi on 5 cylinders...I think one was like 85Psi. I have a bunch of questions!

So how hard is it to rebuild the carbs? I'm mechanically inclined (I've replaced clutches on Front wheel drive cars, I do all my own vehicular maintenance, etc...).

Should I de-carb before I rebuild?

Has anyone scanned pages of instructions for rebuilding carbaretors and uploaded them yet?

Are the "Chilton" repair manuals ok?

Are there "boat salvage yards"?

Sorry....I'll take any answers I can get!

Happy boating!
