" Joe,
In regards to my ea
" Joe,
In regards to my earlier posting that i was not able to lower the idle speed, the culprit was a disconnect recirculation hose. it had allowed air to be sucked into the engine. the brand new recirculation hose from Sierra cracked and fell out.
finally ran both the engines in the bay this morning. they ran great!. i have to say that it is not possible without your help. we burn about 10-15 gallons of gas in about 2 hrs running them just above idle to 3500 rpm. is there a particular RPM range that is most efficient for these 82 Johnson's?
i needed to get the bow down and moved the guide pin on the lower unit bracket to the lowest setting. the engine came down a little but it is not resting on the pin. it is ok?
thanks again. i'll take some pictures next week and send them to you. "
