I thought the last year of the Jetflight hull was in 1971 as the GT-143. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Well I got the other engine it's a 65 hp, 5 hp less then whats on it now ... We put the boat in the water tonight.... After 16 years of restoration , it looks good sitting in the water .. Now the engine wouldn't go full throttle ,It starting surging, it sounded like it wanted to go ,then it stalled once,I had to idle it back in . Now back to the drawing board.

g3jim Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1009 Karma: -27 Thank you received: 0	does that have a distributor or is it the power pack? I wonder if not the fuel pump you may have a power pack that is on its way out. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

It has a magneto and power pac, no distributer, I didn't check timing either.. This engine doesn't have choke butterfly either, It has a primer choke on it . (update 9-30)- I rechecked the fuel filter and noticed that the rubber gasket wouldn't go back in, it was bigger then the cover ,where the fuel filter screen is .. I wonder if It was sucking air, but it wasn't dripping gas. I also noticed before that the primer bulb would get hard then lose its prime .. Now it stays hard with the new gasket installed ?? I'm looking for the easy way out ,to get it to run
