Anyone else have this happen? Just took a close look at the carb and intake boot thing looks ripped. Have yet to install carb support. I guess I need to install it and get myself a new boot...

Don't run it!!

I'm glad I checked it... Going off shore tomorrow on the big boat.

At least it's a cheap fix. Think the boot's about $20 & you need to pull it to install the carb bracket anyhow.

Sent from my Droid because I'm trying to be as cool as you someday.

It happens. Look at your carb when you are trailering the boat,it'll bounce just doing that. With no support that boot takes a beating. On a calm day it vibrates. I'm on my 3rd one now.

Trust DDM --- He knows well what happens when they tear

it wasn't good

Just a hint, that isn't a thermal scan of terry's head

Thanks guys in all seriousness, I'm glad nothing bad happened. Who knows if the trip to Caddo caused it or if it was just slowly working it's way to failure because of trailering. I'll be sure to get the carb support installed when I get the boot replaced.

Some advice, when you have to replace these small parts you might as well by 2 cause if it broke once though normal use it will do it again.

Yep I keep a spare boot under the seat. Had one rip at caddo

Drop autogateman a line..

Coe a cat only have so many lives!!!!!

Good catch but never let your guard down.....modded motors are like women...they will bust your ass if you dont pay atention to them!!!


just saying.

anyone have any pics of the carb supports they've made?

You can look at mine when you come over.
