![]() Once at idle for a moment, the whole frustrating process would repeat itself.īecause I had to use the choke I assumed the problem was the carbs. Once there, she seems to be able to run great all day. I'd often have to toy with the choke during this period and usually get lucky enough to get her up on plane. My original issue was stalling out during transition from idle to full power. #SOUND SIPHON HOW INSTALL#if this does take place, the cure would be to install a new anti siphon valve. This condition is not an absolute as the valves in the fuel primer bulb usually prevent this backwards siphoning problem. BUT, it may also allow fuel to drain backwards to the fuel tank when the engine is not running (siphoning backwards) due to the fact that the carburetors/fuel pump etc are higher than the fuel tank. The above procedure will cure a restriction problem with the anti siphon valve as stated. If this valve exists, remove it, knock out those inner components which will convert it to a straight through fitting, then re-install it. It will be aluminum, about 2" long, and the insides of it will consist of a spring, a ball, and a ball seat. That fitting is in all probability a "Anti Siphon" valve which is notorious for sticking in a semi closed position. Check the built in fuel tank where the rubber fuel line attaches to the tank fitting. The fact that a engine is not overheating, but the warning horn sounds off with a constant steady beep, and that the rpms drop drastically would indicate that the engine is starving for fuel due to a fuel restriction. The warning horn will not sound on the other models. Only the V/6 & V/8 engines have the above "Fuel Restriction Warning". If the engine overheats, or if you have a fuel restriction, the warning is the same. Many of the later OMC V/6 engines incorporate a fuel restriction warning via a vacuum device attached to the powerhead. ![]()
