A few days ago, the outboard engine did not idle normally. It ran erratically. Playing with joke I could get it sufficiently running. After acceleration it run fine but thereafter it didn’t idle at all again.<\/p>\n
When Nora & Hacko said good bye again, I asked them, to please help me, getting the outboard engine inside the cockpit at the holder. With their help or was wonderful easy to get the 27 – 28 kg engine in.<\/p>\n
A troubleshooting manual gave me the hint that there could we water in the carburetor. When opening the drain valve of the float chamber a white-yellowish liquid was the first which came out, follow by red colored gasoline. Thus, I got the culprit: water. Nevertheless I disassembled the carburetor completely and cleaned all parts thoroughly. I also blew air through the fuel filter in inverse direction.<\/p>\n
After assembling all again the engine ran fine during several very short test runs in the cockpit. Very short only, because of the lack of cooling water.<\/p>\n
Next I checked the external fuel tank and there was water in! As water is heavier than gasoline, I placed the external tank in a way that all water accumulated in one 3-dimensional corner. A little plastic hose and I got the water out.<\/p>\n
An hour ago I mounted the engine again at the tender. A test run with the engine idling for 10 min showed all should be fine.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’ll go at land again. In need some fresh food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
