    Twin Crusaders - Both bog down at 2200 RPMs

    I have twin 1987 454 Crusaders. One is a rebuilt Jasper about a year old with an Edelbrock Carb and one is the original with a Quadrajet Carb. I have dual gas tanks and filters. The tanks are linked so engines could pull from either tank. I have put brand new filters in though the old ones...

    Stuck Engine

    1987 Crusader 454 starboard side. I was out running around when the starboard engine shuts down. It started back up but the alarm would not shut off while running. Shut it down and go take a look. Oil everywhere in the hull... crap. For the life of me I could not tell where it came from. Did not...

    I have a 1968 65hp Johnson Outboard motor. It sat for about 8 years since I last used it but I am now trying to see if I can get it running. It is as old as me so some nostalgia there. Starter works, engine turns over, seems to be getting gas, compression on the four cylinders 90, 88, 90, 92...

    1987 Crusader 454 Starboard Engine Was on the way back to the marina and all of a sudden lots of blue smoke, essentially no oil pressure and found oil in the hull of the engine compartment. It's hard to tell exactly where the oil is coming from but it looks like the head gasket. I've seen posts...

    1987 Crusader 454 bogs down at 2800 rpms

    I have dual 1987 Crusader 350hp 454 engines with Rochester carburetors. The port engine starts and runs great until I get up to around 2800 rpms I believe when the secondaries are kicking in. At that point it falls over and bogs down to around 2200 rpms. It then catches again going back to 2800...
