Re: Few questions. Setting carbs / New windows
I am running both motors off the one tank of the good engine.
I have cleaned and rebuilt the carbs. Changed all the filters and cleaned out the fuel lines.

Re: Fuel removal
No luck. Lost starboard motor when leaving the dock. Wouldnt stay running.
Port side motor running good.
Any suggestion. Think to tear apart the carb and clean it.

Re: Fuel removal
I will give that a try.
One motor seems worse off then the other, and that is the one with the older tank. I guess in reality thou there is some gas in each take that could be 3 years old. I guess I should have drained what was in there to start with.
