Looking for Engine mechanic in Ehrenberg/Blythe
« on: August 21, 2021, 05:03:29 PM »
Alright was going down river today and the boat was running great and the it started to sputter and backfire so I shut it down felt like I ran out of fuel but tanks are 3/4 but if you happen to know a mechanic out here that would be great don’t want to have to tow the boat home

The level should be just about center of the bowls. I have had a stuck float a couple of times.
