Well I held out as long as I could. Too cold for one last run so I decide to go down and winterize the motors. I have had a small heater in the engine compartment so the blocks are warm. I go to start starboard motor, it turns over floods out and dies. I try for about 5-10 min to get it going but no luck. So switch the hose over to port engine. Fires right up, let it warm up, close the hose valve, open the anti-freeze valve and......it barely flows and temp starts to rise. The hose is too small so I put on a larger dia. hose. Problem solved, as it sucked up anti-freeze, I sprayed the fog, shut her off and done.

I go back the other motor, pull 3 plugs, all soaking wet!!! Dry them and try again to start. Turns over, spudders, and.......nothin!

I took the top off the Procharger carb box, cranked the motor and fuel just dumps into the carb!!! Stuck float right? So I check the float and it is stuck allright, so stuck I can't unstick it! What really pisses me off is I just ran it on the hose about a week ago and it was fine. Now it is F@#%&# again. I just can't get a break!

I never liked the idea of "pressurizing" the carb. They always work better when you draw the air through them. Sorry to hear your problems.
