Fixing a 4-STROKE OUTBOARD Motor [Capable Cruising Guides]
October 03, 2020 by Emily & Clark's Adventure | Language: EN Play Time: 00:43:46 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Welcome aboard our antique sailboat, Temptress, where we usually fix everything ourselves. After our 2-stroke motor repair video, many of you asked for a 4-stroke video. So here it is.
This week, our friends Dale and Kris (on the sailboat Sixth Girl) developed a problem with their 4-stroke outboard motor here in Luperon. They drove the dinghy over so Clark could help diagnose and fix the problem. When we looked inside, there were a few extra surprises, but all in all, we had a great day hanging out with our friends and saving the FUBAR’d engine.
