Looks normal to me.  The chalk gives it a whiter haze look.  Remove that
and the true color comes out.

So instead of giving it away I rebuilt the carb and half dozen other fixes this

Runs and idles great, but at full throttle she bogs down continues to run, but 
sounds rougher.When out gear it goes right to full throttle.

Perhaps overpropped?

I think you would have much better luck if you rub it down with Finesse-
it, and then  a coat of Rejex polish. I know, you probably don't want to
redo what you've already done, though.

Re: Stus-List Yamaha 4hp 2 cycle

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Follow my carb tuning video.  Post back with questions.

https://youtu.be/caIdvC8WGDg

Sounds like the idle/throttle screw (T) is keeping the butterfly open too
far with no throttle applied.  It just so happens that in gear there is
enough load to slow 'er down.  At full throttle is sounds like probably too
much fuel (H).  I think that if it was too little it would die.  Since both
of these "symptoms could be a result of too much low throttle fuel (L) you
should probably start by dialing it back a bit and see how thing go.  By
doing this you will lower the fuel at idle AND lower the fuel a full
throttle.  If you're lucky and my diagnosis is correct then you'll kill too
birds with one stone.

My advice is based on having 3 adjustment screws H (high throttle), L (low
throttle), T (min throttle).  If you're missing any one of these then it
has a jet which serves in its place.

Re: Stus-List Yamaha 4hp 2 cycle

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

If it seems to lose power on the top end, that a good indicator that the engine 
is running lean.  If your oil/ fuel mixture ratio is off with too much oil, 
your “fuel” may not have enough gas to mix with oxygen to provide enough power. 
 A good way to determine a lean burn is 1. Check the spark plug color.  If it 
looks gray or chalky, you might be too lean and 2.when you run the engine at 
full throttle and back off the throttle a touch and the engine speeds up, it is 
too lean on the top end.
Check for leaks around the carb and intake manifold.  Spray a little starter 
fluid Near the manifold and if the eNgine speeds up, you have an air leak.
Should you find the plug to be black and Sooty, you have the opposite problem, 
too rich.  Again , check mixture ratio.  Not enough oil in the premix can make 
a difference, causing incomplete combustion at full throttle.  Finally, modern 
gasoline doesn’t mix well with oil and alcohol tends to separate the oil from 
the gasoline.  That can mess with your fuel as well, making part of the fuel 
storage critical to a good running motor.
Aren’t engines fun?

Re: Stus-List polishing

[Gary Nylander via CnC-List]

Another useful coating option is Poli-Glow. But… you must get rid of all the 
old chalked on oxidation before using, or you will encapsulate the oxidation 
under many coats of the Glow. There is Poli-Prep which does a pretty good job 
on the oxidation, and PoliOx which is even stronger. Poli-Glow is an acrylic 
coating – looks like crap after the first coat, but dries immediately and then 
you add coats as fast as you (and a helper) can walk around the boat – after 7 
or 8 coats it really looks good and lasts all year, another coat or two the 
following year keeps it up.

Stus-List polishing

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

I assume from the picture, the forward section is that which is 
yellowish.   You used Meguair Wax #50 which is a combination cleaner and 
polish.   This, or similar products, may not be the best to start 
restoring a heavy oxidized gelcoat surface.


The combination cleaner and wax will lift out the dirt from the pores in 
the gelcoat and you are simply mixing them up in the one step product.   
It might be best to first use a gelcoat cleaner only to remove the 
oxidation and dirt.  My hull is white and every second year I use 
Collinite 920 Cleaner before I wax with Colilinite 925. It is a 2 step 
process but you should not have the yellowish gelcoat if you do this.   
Try using a cleaner only on the part you have already done to see what 
happens.

I +1 on the Collinite. But it is quite a bit of work, especially, if the hull 
was not pristine before. In my case it required quite a bit of elbow grease (it 
shows quite nicely the difference between the clean gelcoat and not so clean).

Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

[David Swensen via CnC-List]

I am ticking away at the list of to-dos in order to get Freya off of the
hard and in the water. Thoughts have gone to actually sailing her and not
just all the things that need to be done to a boat that was left on the
hard and forgotten for a few years.
In looking at the rigging today, I was reminded that Freya has a set of
running backstays. The previous owners raced her. I haven't sailed with
running backstays since our old family Narrasketuck on the Great South Bay.
Does anyone use these? If so, do you have a picture of how they are set up
on the deck? Can I safely sail without them?
Thanks for any input.

Hi David.

We don't race much, just a yearly overnight race, we don't have running 
backs and have never felt the need.  The boat doesn't look like it was 
ever set up for them, and it is one of the original "Labatt Canada 
Challenge" boats - so was raced hard.


I'm interested if this was a unique mod to your boat, or is it common?

Your portlights look great.  I've been working on mine and today finally 
removed all the old Plexus using a combination of heat gun and chisel and angle 
grinder with flap disc where the stuff was very thick.  Spent most of the day 
on it.  Hope my new ones look as good.  Have to wait till after I finish

which is mostly worn smooth.

Re: Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Hi David,
My boat has both runners and checkstays but I have a bendy rig on a C&C 34R.  
Not sure my experience applies to your boat. 

Saildata shows the 35 MkIII without runners.  
https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-35-3

Do you possibly have an inner headstay, (Solent) and the running backstays are 
meant to support that?

Re: Stus-List New Windows 1987 MKIII

[Derek McLeod via CnC-List]

My window project snowballed into a similar paint the topsides and deck after 
some of the Plexus came out in big chunks. Those chunks needed to be filled 
which needed paint over top which looked way better than the old paint and so 
it started...

Re: Stus-List Running Backstays 35 MKIII

[ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List]

I, too, have a Labatt Challenge boat, and it didn't come with running
backstays. I just replaced my mast with a mast from Selden. I had a choice
of a smaller mast section with running backstays and a babystay, or a
heavier mast section without running backs. Selden no longer makes the same
mast section that came with my boat. They said I didn't need a babystay,
but I had one installed anyway, to help with bending the mast in heavy air.
What hull number is your boat? If it's between Graham's and mine, you
probably don't need one, as we both probably have the same mast section.
