My $0.02: - Engine sounds as if it is running dry exhaust. Crappy mechanic said it was a "gasket"...where could that be? Its not an exhaust manifold gasket... [MD] β I would suspect the impeller first (like in an inboard); they do fail.
- When engine tilted, fuel runs out of cowl unless fuel shut-off closed. Said mechanic said a "pin" was missing? [MD] β the carburetor probably leaks; my first suspect would be the float and βpinβ that closes the valve for the fuel. Marek Ottawa, ON
