This is little embarrassing, and probably
cost me some money, but this happened. We
have a 41 b. I had the carb rebuilt. Put
it back on while carrying on a conversation
with my wife. Forgot to hook the linkage
up. It fired up and raced to full throttle.
I ran around the other side and pulled the
plug wires off the mag in a quick panic
like action. Hooked everything back up, and
tried again. Fired right up and ran
normally, but pumps some blue smoke out of
the #1 side petcock. Never did that before
this. Theres no smoke out of the exhaust,
and doesn't seem to be building any
pressure in the crank case. Runs great.
Good power, no weird noises. What happened?
I've only ran it a few minutes.
