Post by: snocohunter on September 18, 2014, 12:23:06 PM: Planned to fish it in my 12' trophy aluminum, but the other day my motor quit and wont start now. it was running like a top until i tilted it up to avoid hitting bottom. :bash:

Now i'm scrambling to find a ride. I haven't missed a coho derby in 5 years! I may fish doug bar or who knows where else on the bank if a boat ride doesn't materialize.

It's an 8 horse merc. I pulled the plugs and cycled it. One plug was wetter than the other. Both were getting spark. I don't know how to pull the carb off, doesn't look simple though.

Post by: snocohunter on September 19, 2014, 02:16:50 PM: I got it going with some starting fluid in the cylinder and a bit in the carb. I think the wet plug may have been an issue, or maybe a loss of vacuum in the carb i dunno. but it ran like a top out the cove in lake stevens and back. Jason i'll shoot you a pm, might have a seat if my uncle or my huntin' buddy aren't free. I plan to fish sunday too.
