Not sure what you mean by evil but your comment got me reminiscing about growing up on Lake Ontario. I never fully comprehended how the other 4 lakes drained into Ontario (never once spent time on Ontario without seeing trash and dead fish) until I spent 4th of July on Michigan and could see...
Thanks for all the help everyone. I think I am going to drill a hole for the switch between choke and hood latch and eventually replace the choke with a primer kit.
Buying some turf now too
Ha. Well I have a '20 and it starts consistently. Don't wanna do anything to make it unreliable. I haven't done anything to the motor so not even sure how I would get fuel into the carb without removing the black cover on top of the carb (not sure what that's called)
Do you start it with just the start button or do something else (i.e. "manually cycle" it or block the flame arrestor) the first time you start it?
Some others mentioned these methods for starting the motor without a choke.
That's what I initially looked at but read too many people say they don't last. They are expensive and a pain to replace compared to a rotary switch.
I think I'll end up removing the choke, not installing a primer, and install the switch where the choke rod is.
Next thing I have to figure...
You're right, many choices. I didn't think about mounting the switch inside the hull. I am leaning towards running the pumps when I head out. I've read others doing that too.
I am just going to have to wait until the parts get in and figure it out.
I've been trying to figure out where I'm going to place the Watt Hole/rotary switch for a bilge pump I ordered and think I have it narrowed down to two options...
1. Remove the choke and put the switch in the existing hole but not sure if I need to install a primer if I remove the choke - where...
Anyone from VB and still riding? I recently picked up a SJ and couldn't let it sit in my garage until spring so I've been out riding the Nansemond River a couple times. I'll be on the Indian River near Waterside this Friday, I have drill this weekend.
