"Thanks David! I bought the boat after it had been sitting up for several years in dry storage. I had a mechanic check the compression and one of the cylinders didn't compress fully. I believe it was #3 and it was 80. the others are 110,110,115. I have been using the boat weekly since I bought it in June 08. The motor runs fine I just have a hard time starting it and keeping it ideling . I had a friend, who seems knowledgeable with O/B, tell me that a carb rebuild should fix my problem. He said it wasn't getting enough fuel flow and that's why it acts up. If I push the choke once every few minutes it idles fine. I think the compression problem has resolved with use of the motor. I was going to try the rebuild option first, before anything else."
