93 Dana Rebuild

Just found this thread. Great job on the interior, that thing looks great. Wish you luck on the cutting out issue, that one sounds like it could be a pain to troubleshoot.

Thank you I am pleased with how it came out. makes the boat look a lot newer and nicer.

Also, I checked the wiring didn't notice loose connections. Anyone have any input as to what may cause this problem.

Just saw this thread also great job on your Dana it looks bitchin as far as the cutting out goes not too sure did you change the coil wire when you put the new one on? Not 100% sure that would do it but makes sense in my head ya know! You should drag it out Sunday to elsi with us maybe trouble shoot it there too.

so I'm not sure if anyone is still following but I fixed the electrical problem now I have a new one

when you let off the throttle it dies and takes forever to start back up. Im thinking the carb is flooding the motor becaise it reeks of gas when finally starts. any ideas on something else that may cause this.

sounds to me like you got somethin stuck in the carb in the needle/seat I'm no expert but I just went through this with mine and from what you got for psi then it's seems to be your carb

I could be way wrong with this. Are your floats set too high, air fuel set properly, do you have a pressure regulator? What do your plugs look like? Jetting from what I gathered all depends on your set up. If your boat ran fine with the 77's and plugs were good. I'd stick with the 77's

62 and 63 seems a lil too small (I'm by no means a carb guy, just trying to help a lil). Maybe some others members will chime in with a lot more experience than me. But if it's running right and your plugs are good, go have a blast!

Sure sounds like float level to me. Be careful with that closed hatch they can go boom when it comes to fuel leaks and no ventilation. What kind of tanks do you have? Did you clean them after sitting for so long. Just trying to throw some ideas out there. Good luck

I have 2 aluminum tanks and both were cleaned and flushed. Aswell as replacing fuel filters.

What fuel pump is on it I believe you said electric and you did say your pressure was at 5.5-6 is that about right
