    79 Chrysler 45 runs rough

    My 79 Chrysler 45 HP was running like a top. Then I didn't take it out for awhile and when I tried it the batt was dead. Then in trying to figure out the reason, like what drained the batt so quick?, I was checking the wiring and I accidently put Hot to ground and fried the ground wire between...

    Water Pump Removal

    My 1979 Chrysler 45 outboard engine had not been serviced in over a year so I pulled it from the lake and read my Seloc Chrysler manual about service. It says, "better to replace an old water pump when doing yearly maintenance." So I read about all the different types and figured mine was type...

    Chrysler 45 1978 Gear shift screwed-up

    Yesterday I posted, "gear-shift adjustment", because I didn't yet realize how screwed-up it was. Today, by disconnecting the throttle at the engine I was able to get 'er to shift into forward by pushing the shift handle as far as it would go. So, at idle, I took it for a ride. 5mph and back to...

    Chrysler 45 1978 Gear Shift Adjustment

    When I first put this engine and controls on this boat it worked well enough to take spin around the lake and that was all I wanted. The controls were not perfect but doable. This year the engine fired right up but the controls are a little worse. The revs come up before the gears engage in...

    45 horse Chrys runs rough. Plugs?

    I have a 79 Chrysler that runs rough in spite of all I try. I know it is capable of running smooth because it did for awhile. My manual says, "use a 2 cycle marine type plug which has a short side electrode which extends only to the center of the center electrode instead of beyond as a standard...

    Chrysler 45 running rough

    I thought I had done everything according to the book as far as tuning the engine, but it still runs rough and feels, "out of time". It starts every time right on the first turn but then starts to "miss" a couple times on about every forth rotation causing a sort of knocking sound. The book...

    Chrys 45 timing, after sheard key

    I sheared the flywheel key in my Chrysler 45, 1979 model, then had a heck of a time getting the flywheel off, but finally, with help here, got it done and sent for a new key. Now, before I do something dumb, need to know if there is any extra timing readjustments or do I just put in the new key...

    Chrys 45 sheard key

    My Chrysler 45, 1979 model, was a bitch to get the flywheel off. Finally popped off and I could see that the key was partially sheared. About 1/4 of the way. But it still went back together easy enough so I thought it would be ok. It started up ok but was running rough so I decided to clean the...

    Puddle Drain Chrysler 45

    I bought a 1979 Chrysler 45 and after some blood, sweat and tears, I've got her running ok. I took the whole gang out and we cruised around the lake nice and slow. Then when I started to line her up with the dock she started blubbering and missing and trying to die. Well, after we docked I read...

    Chrysler 45 starting mystery

    Been working on this motor for quite awhile, it's a mystery that, if I can solve, will be worth it. It starts when it feels like it. Then it runs good and has good power. And I can shut it off as many times as I need to and it will fire right back up as soon as I touch the starter. Then when I...
