First of all...nice site and looks very informative. Being a member of an Early Corvette site (C-3) did I utilize the search, but did not find what I was looking for regarding my new (old) one lunger...
I aquired this Nissan 5, as it was clinging to a 1968 Santana 22 sailboat. btw: this whole set up, boat, motor rust and what have you...was a freebee, as a give away on C.Lists. Im now in the process of a full restoration.
The motor acutally looks pretty good...and now starts up very easly after some minor tweaking to the air fuel mix. I noticed on our first outing that the motor, no matter if it was ideling (out of gear or in) half speed or full...seems to have a vibration (shakes the darn boat).
To isolate the prop...I removed it. Same results. I am wondering if the vibration is the nature of this little beast? Freash gas, new plug and seems to run good, except for the vibration.
Any ideas??
Also... I have a nice stream of water coming out of the Pee hole....Is there supposed to be water coming out of the exhaust, with the exhaust, (half way down the lower unite)?? I have only exhaust gas! Also, around half throttle and up...it starts to smoke (white smoke) but quites at idle. Again any ideas??
Thanks in advance!! Muddy
