Thanks Marty but they are 1,000 miles from here think I'll check with ( must be you have Bob Fuller's Bull froggy glow spoon on your mind)

That's what that "can of mec motor tune" does , pull the cover off the carbs and spary it in.....smokes like heck and the ones that sounds like it's killing the motor go back and give it MORE..... Well it would run some today but still used the kick 95% of the time...... seems like some thing is stuck open and when it starts it ends up flooding out ??? I can't seem to get the bulb to get hard like it will on the kicker ??? going to take a another look see on gas lines but still think I have carb jet problems....

Mec , 80 hp , 1988 I've been running 91oct NON-E from fasttrac, also off and on the cleaner/booster Mec makes....

Don't think it's a gas problem with the kicker running so good , they both pull from the same tank....I also switched the lines from the kicker motor to the big motor yesterday.....

Any of those guys make CAMP calls ??? They would get a top of the line meal along with what ever the cost would be..... ....... If this last deal didn't fix it I'm afraid it's in the carbs and that one step too deep for me.......

Slept in today with the big motor issue yesterday....... hooked the hose up to it fire her up ran good............. saw Hoot pull into camp so I went up to his trailer and chatted a bit....asked him if he wanted to make a run down the lake to a spot I've been iching to get back to since the NAFC guys went home...... so off we went around 10:30ish....... fired her up at the launch ran good got three rod out and picking spoons and she stalls...... ran like crap then would not start just like yesterday........ I said well just give her a go with the kicker .......so we did ................went 3 for 3 all browns two at 81' down and one at 71' down..... bullfrogger glow took the two at 81' and herganator one at 71' not much bait around took two fish on a south troll and thrid one came on a west troll when we were going to check things out deep............... worked on the motor when we got back , changed the inline fuel filter ran ok for a while then same crap..... put a can of mec motor tune thru the carbs....... would clear up then back to the same stuff...... last resort I changed the canister fuel filter started her back up ruff for a bit stalled a few times ..... now it SEEMS OK will find out some time in the am ....maybe I can get back to that spot I wanted to try today.............

I never was real good at the albright and had a LARGE landlock make mine pull apart that why I went to barrel swivels joining my mono mainline to my floroleader material...... then this year I had a barrel swivel fail but it was a tight fit thru the top eye on the rod and would stick now and then..... ( pulled the rod and replace it with one that ahs a larger eye)

I do the same but only for core..... if I was going to join core and braid I would still use the willis knot but also use a needle to thread the braid into the core..........

Maybe hope for mine .... I replaced the steering cable over the winter ...a few weeks into this season I just tore the unit off the wheel and slid in under the dash because that was the problem NOT the cable.... guess I'd better just send it back and see if they can fix it !!!!

Too bad when you lived in N.Y. you didn't go to school and learn to understand what you read.. ...... who was or is complaining about the $70.00 on this thread ???? It's just a head up thread that has GONE the wrong way.... ... ..... if me thinking about saving $20.00 by waiting is your issue here......... ....back at YA !!!!!
