    50TLR smokey

    Thanks for response I will try resetting the mixture screws at that spec. I was getting some sneezing/popping at 1-1/2 thought it was lean but also it had ran with fouled carbs for some time I don’t think the linkage is broken, it seems to be moving correctly with the bottom carb link, but I am...

    New to me reclaimed 1GM10. Advice?

    Oil and filter even season, Racor and on-engine fuel filter as well. Impeller every 2-3yr, thermostat too. Doing all of these would be a good baseline to start from. All points of failure on this engine will be those that come in contact with salt water, keep an eye on the thermostat housing...

    Trouble shifting back to neutral 2004 f225

    If it was me and it was working fine prior to it coming off, assuming it came off in neutral, I would remove the lower and find that middle ground between F and R, it's not a big space but it is space nonetheless. Unless you really two-handed the lever into and out of gear the cable should be...

    Trouble shifting back to neutral 2004 f225

    I would try installing again in neutral, make sure the shaft is an even amount between F and R and not favoring one or the other, you should be able to feel this turning the shift shaft with a wrench or torx-bit. Same goes for the mechanism on the motor, disconnect the cable and get a feel for...

    50TLR smokey

    How smokey should a 2008 50TLR be? Just had a carb rebuild and all mixture screws are turned 2 rotations out. The oil system seems to be functioning normally but it seems like a lot of smoke out the relief port, more than I would have imagined. It seems to stay steady even after it warms up. Any...

    2004 yamaha f115 trim seal leak

    The trim rams themselves are either pitted/worn and can't be sealed properly, or the caps/seals are aftermarket and not fitting correctly, usually 1 of these 2 options. Also the 2nd seal underneath in the grooved channel in the cap, that is the one responsible for keeping the oil in, assuming...

    1964 Photo Boat help

    Could have been a kit, the windshield looks unique, plus if its actually port side drive and not just reversed because of the photo, not a lot of boats with wheels on that side. Looks like a Chris-craft but is not. Carver, Correct-craft, Crosby, lots of makes from this era all look similar but I...

    2013 Yamaha F115 Bogs / Starving for fuel

    Once the fuel rail is disconnected and removed, there will be an open end that the quick-connect hardened fuel line was connected to. Simple as blowing it out with compressed air, start at the furthest injector hole and work your way down. Let it hang and dry out. I wouldn't spray any solvents...

    2013 Yamaha F115 Bogs / Starving for fuel

    The cartridge filter that is on the motor generally catches most debris particles, but any water contaminated fuel will make it's way into the VST and the fuel pump will try and move it regardless, so keep in mind that excess attempts of use like this can wear the pump out due to lack of...
