Post 36 prodrive help
I have a 2012 36 pd with 60 hours on it, I was out yesterday and it was running bad on low end backing firing through carb and exhaust when trying to throttle it up. Once up and running on top end it ran fine. Could it be something in carb, or do you think it could be a valve issue thanks

Is this an all of a sudden thing or its been getting worse over time? Does it do it in warm weather too?




On a side note, if you wanna fix the fact that its a PD, CJB might have a spare one of these you can borrow :lol:



:lol:

ok thanks I was gonna clean carb then have a leak test done if carb didn't fix prob. The only reason to put it forsale would be just to buy the gen 3 model pd sure wouldn't be any others :lol: :lol:

make sure your spark plug wires are not wet and arcing on motor cover, little electrical tape will help

Yes I have checked the wires don't believe that's the prob, going to do carb cleaning this weekend. Hope that does the trick if not then looking at valves issue possible, is what I am being told. thanks for all the input.
