My Eskimo keeps killing when I start drilling holes, the thing was a gift from my wife a couple of years ago for X-mas. Any advice as far as setting the carb adjustments? Once it is warmed up it runs better. Just seems to kill when I first try to drill through the first inch or so of ice. Sluggish when it just breaks through the last portion of ice. I monkeyed around with the adjustments because I could not get it started when I first receieved it , (did not have it primed), so instead of waiting until it was primed I messed with the adjustments. I know,,,, stupid! but I was in a hurry to get out fishing. Anyone familar with these units. They are a Teucumseh engine, TC-II Piranha, by Eskimo. Any help for putzo here would be appreciated!
We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
