I thought I would just throw both questions into the one post....
#1. I have a 2000 Merc 4 stroke and was thinking of having a tune up done. I had a mis issue when I got it this spring, but new plugs and replacing the cracked fuel filter solved it. I find in runs smooth under load but kicks a bit when idling in neutral. Most noticeable when the ear muffs are on in the driveway and it is out of the water. I understand these Motors can just purrrrr. I called M&P marine and they immediately suggested a $350 tune up. Do I really need to go the full oil, plug, greasing, fuel filter etc just to have what could be a carb adjustment done. I understand an adjustment and re-synchronization is not uncommon. Recommendations on someone/place Merc savvy who would look after me fairly are appreciated.
#2. My Lund has a great deal of carpet in it. Carpet doesn't hose off very well and collects dirt. I was thinking of removing the floor boards and rod hatch covers, front deck etc and replacing the carpet with some kind of vinyl product. (Fall project) Has anyone attempted this and how hard do you think it would be to get the carpet off the current flooring. What would you recommend for the flooring and where can you get it. Is it easy to glue down.
Thanks
