Hema Yup the prop is from nettleprops.com of austin. I've heard nothing but good about them and their prices are the best I have seen. Their website should calculate shipping if you want to compare to driving.

wotan it's time to get riding dangit!

Patience is not my vertu....lol. If I can get it friday I'll eat the gas just to get my mits on it.

Yep. I've been out surfing 3 times so far. Should be going tonight (roomie just called to let me know he's vacuuming the carpet) but I've got to finish the pop-up cleat installation or it will never get done. Boat ownership!

So I was out last night and the engine was acting up AGAIN. Once we started boarding and she was all warmed up, she wouldn't stay running in idle. Every time a rider fell it took two or three times of restarting it and then I'd have to start pretty quick out of the hole or she would die. Last year this happened and we corrected the timing and or idle with pretty good results. Grr!

sounds like your float valve in your carb. after boats, cars or anything that has a carburetor sit for a while crap in the float bowl can get or just an old valve and seat don't entirely stop the flow of gas from the bowl. dirt can get in the valve or whatever may be in the bottom of the bowl. if it is the float valve it may start to work better just by running the boat but the sure fix is to replace the float valve and clean the float bowl. sometimes just cleaning everything works too. my 89 would do the same thing and the 87 did the exact same thing on its first run. I put in a new valve and it ran perfectly. hope this helps

It could be the carb.... it could also just be that your idle is set too low. Should be around 1000 - 1200RPM.

[87SunSportMikeyD]

Well manual says 600prm is correct idle. Sometimes it idles perfectly and never dies, sometimes it dives to 3-400 and fluxuates up and down for hours. It will also blowback when we're boarding or surfing if it is acting up.

Carb kit w/ spacer gasket is on the way along with new dist cap and fuel filter/water seperator. Already replaced plugs and oil and oil filter. New gas. I did not know to use high octane non oxygenated and add stabilizer to every tank. I will start doing that.
