I have a 1980 Thompson Vacationer Express boat
have a load test done on the battery as it may be flat or have dead cell. Check and clean the battery terminals and battery posts (shiny clean ) as the moisture around boats causes lead sulphate to build up on the terminals which prevents current flow ( black coating)
It is running rich. How do I adjust the carb?
You don't. First check air filter, if clogged, replace. Next, is your car throwing a trouble code? Try cleaning MAF sensor with carb cleaner (that's between air cleaner and throtle body), next, replace bank one of the oxygen sensor. I would start there. The problem running rich is a little generic, and the above are easy fixes. If this doesn't fix it, come back and we will move on to the next possible problem.
No indicators
Its either a blown fuse or the turn signal switch is faulty.
Battery went dead now alarm is going off
Not supposed to jump VWs. Sounds like your immobilizer kicked in. You have to connect to a diagnostic tester and clear the errors before its gona start. Go see how to do it on http://volkswagen-polo-highline.blogspot.com
Car starts fine...but dosent run
ok... first question... the Tach(rpm guage) does change when you rev your engine in either P or neutral? Also.. is your check engine light on? any odd smells(burnt eggs) if your check engine light is on.. it's most likely a fualty sensor.. based on educated guess idle air control valve .. ot maybe posibly a faulty throttle position sensor.. if you have a foul smell.. similar to eggs or just nasty... could be a catalytic converter went bad... reply and lemme know if i help.. or raise new questions :D
