I have a Evinrude 6Hp fisherman model early 70's that has been acting up and the last time out it got worse. When I start out it starts on the first pull and will run ok at full throttle for a little then i begin to loose power as if it is running on one cylinder. This last time out it ran poorly from the start and I had to call it a night right away. Any ideas in what could be causing this? Dirty carb fouled plug bad gasket not sure where to start any help would be appreciated.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
