[Rhodes22-list] Trouble on "Ranch Tohatsu"

[Michael Hellyar]

Before the thing stalls at a critical time.  Try having it stall in a narrow channel smack in front of a 600 ft ore ship.

>> Also, I learned the hard way that you can only lay the motor on one side. Otherwise the oil drowns the float bowl.  Again, I share that the stalling problems ended when I used a higher octane fuel, without the 10% mix if you can find it. Since I did this I have not spent any time or money on mechanics and fooling around with the engine.

Apparently, this motor misbehaves if there is even a smidgen too much oil in the crankcase. It sets up bad pressure vibe thing which effect the carb's performance.  I am currently in an exercise to get mine to idle properly.  After reading of this issue, I remembered NOT being too exact when filling the oil this spring.  Friday, I will be giving the OB a good inspection for oil level.  I have already taken off the carb and soaked it.  Friday will possibly be a watershed (or oilshed) moment.
