Video

Meaningless to you, but meaningful for the person who asked me to upload these for him. Ultimately the dudes mechanic was able to figure out the issue with this series of videos.

Have you found the answer?

@@markmason5812 I did put a clip at the opener lip enough to prevent any choke

I have two more parts to upload from the SNUD run. Prob one part tonight and the other Sunday night.

I’m by no means an expert on it but I believe It’s supposed to be able to move to restrict or allow airflow. In the video he may have been playing with it causing it to move but not positive.

Unless you’re trying to start your boat with temperatures below 40°F you do not need a choke! What most people do not realize is that these carburetors were never meant to run with modern day fuels! I have a 4.3 V6 in my boat with a 2 barrel Rochester with all of the choke components removed, I have never had an issue firing up my engine!

@@NeverEnoughPyro40 man I hear that, my boat is running great now, and only has problems starting when it's cold and the choke is closed. I always have to manually open the choke after priming the throttle a few times. Here in AL so it's always hot.

His issue ended up being electrical. I can’t remember the exact timeline now but his boat sunk at his dock prior to this I believe. For your issue, since it sat 3 years, it sounds like a plugged carb. I’m not so sure about boat motors but for other smaller motors (atv, mower, chainsaw, etc) a lot of times the fuel lines will get clogged from the tank to the carb so double check you’re getting adequate flow into the carb. Hope that helps some.

That was a piece of fluff.......

I will check with him tomorrow. It ended up being an electrical issue I think though.

Sean Hendrick thanks Sean, fixed mine. Ended up being a bad connection from starter coil to distributor. $5 fix🤙

His issue ended up being electrical but I know he bought some gasket material and we were able to duplicate the original one pretty well. I believe he also cleaned the carburetor and maybe rebuilt it cause he thought that was the issue originally.

Sean Hendrick thanks for replying back. I was planning on rebuilding as well. I am just hoping to find my float is adjusted too High and causing the Overflow.

It would have been worth the trip, 14in of snow or more in some places. But the trails were mostly packed down. This was my 4th or 5th year making it down for it. Yeah I’m gonna try to get back at posting videos again. I film every time we ride and have a lot more footage from this ride (and from other activities.) But my laptop is pushing 10years old and doesn’t like to cooperate with me anymore most of the time. I hope to get a new one in the next month though. I could post non-edited videos but I’m not a huge fan of the long gaps of nothing in some of the footage.

Sean Hendrick 14in of snow is definitely a workout to plow through. Lol. I’m looking at having my friend build me a desktop for editing. My laptop should last me another season but it too is aging. 5 years old...but I did upgrade the ram and get an external hard drive which helped out a ton! Tower is definitely the way to go though...plus if you know anyone that can build them. It’s the cheapest route as well. I agree with ya on the non edited videos. It’s nice to skip through the “blah” stuff and get right to the goodies. I’m working on another channel right now. Leaving one for the longer videos to give people a fuller experience of the trails...so they can see what they are like before making a long haul to ride them. The other channel will be videos edited to show mostly all the fun and action sections :-). I will put it on my list for next year! SNUD for sure.

The trail was closed every time I was there last year but it was open again last weekend when I was there.

It is pretty sad I am having withdrawls. I went there for the first time last year for Farm Fest weekend...I am pretty sure I was hooked the moment my truck and trailer hit dirt on our way to our campsite. LOL. The place is simply AWESOME! Doesn't hurt when you go with a great group of friends either. You go there often?

North Country Boyz Yeah we have a good group of people. We usually go to the Snud run and then 2-3 more times each year. We’re only 1.5hrs away so normally only camp during one of the trips. But I avoid the place during the Memorial and Labor Day events, too many people so you’re constantly caught in a line and waiting for people to move out of the way.

That's awesome! I wish I was only 1.5 hours away from there! Surprisingly during the Memorial Day weekend....I can say we never once ran into that issue. Even with our Saturday ride when we had something like 70 people in our group. Seems like the majority of people that were there stuck close to the drag races and mud bog.

North Country Boyz Damn that’s insane. I thought we were doing good with 10 machines. Next time you’re there make sure you check out cow path if you haven’t already. It’s across the street from the “starting line.” Normally deep water and plenty of mud.

I believe it ended up being an electrical problem unrelated to the carb. I uploaded these videos for someone else so they could send them to their mechanic.

Warren Yeager it’s on a friends farm. Unfortunately there is not many public places to ride around here. Tall Pines in Andover and Demon’s Run in bath are the only local ones I know of. Both are a lot of fun though.

Sean Hendrick like 20 Years ago my buddies and I used to park off Lacy road and wheel in the woods around there, not sure if that’s still around. Plus I saw an old railroad bed around that area not sure if you knew anything about that?

Warren Yeager I know about the railroad bed. Friends of mine ride from Caledonia to the old fashion days via it. But i don’t know anything about the woods. A lot of ppl have their land locked down now so I stick to the areas that I know.

it ended up being something electrical I think. I posted the videos for my boss to show his mechanic so not positive of the outcome. I do know that the boat got submerged prior to this during a local storm.

alexis ferranto tall pines requires no insurance or registration. Just a helmet and a ID. 50miles of trails (maybe more) and have camping/showers. Check out their web page. Pretty nice for all skill levels.

alexis ferranto we're from the Rochester area. About 90 min west of SU. Usually just ride local or go to tall pines atv park in Andover ny.

roy preston Agreed, it's a nice place to ride and the people are all very friendly and helpful. But anyways, the track is off of Pingrey Hill Rd (the big hill you go up right before getting to the barn) The easiest way to find it is to take the road from the barn and you'll see it off on your left as you start down the hill. Paste this (42.173406, -77.816686) into google maps and it'll drop a pin on it.

thanks, I'll have to check out their map a little better. Love to run the 900s around a few times.

Before or after the deer jumped out at her?
