I am buying a boat on the weekend and the owner told me that the Palmer 30hp motor only runs with the choke half on. Off the top of your head what would you guess this would be caused by? Would it be a huge thing to fix?
I am getting pretty good deal on the boat, so I expect some repair issues.
pull the main jet and clean really well with something like lacq thinner or carb cleaner to dislove the varnish... It probably has a bunch of "varnish" buildup which is restricting the fuel flow.
