    increase alternator cooling

    My battery is indeed a beast. but given that it has 560Ah or 7.2 kW if you prefer, it isn't really that large. It fits into a battery box designed for two Group 27 deep cycles.

    increase alternator cooling

    For load I have a 560Ah LFP battery. I would really like to improve the cooling so that I can dial up the output to 70-80 Amps but need to increase cooling to do that. The engine is a diesel so there is no requirement for a bilge blower like on a gas-powered boat so my "bilge blower" is more...

    increase alternator cooling

    Are there any ways to increase the cooling of the alternator? I have an old Ample Power 108A alternator that works good but it has very few cooling holes into the case and it gets over 190º if it puts out any more than 50A for very long. I have my bilge blower set so that the pickup hose pulls...

    Looks like the link was broken. Is it part # 16100-ZVO-A04 or 16100-ZVO-A04

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    I am admittedly do not speak fluent parts list. Given that my S/N is BAES 1222809 which is greater than 1000647 then they list two carbs. 16100-ZVO-A04 and 16100-ZVO-A04 are both listed. Do I need to know which one I need or will either one work? Since everything to the right of #21 remains...

    what about buying a complete replacement carb. I did a search and found a bunch of listings for BF2 carbs for about $50. Not sure how to tell which one I need.

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    I was able to go on my cruise and the Honda ran every time, but I need to get a carb kit for it. If I left the fuel shutoff valve on, it would constantly drip out the back of the engine. I could not tell if it was coming from the drain needle valve or the overflow, but a full carb kit would...

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    1988 Catalina C30 tall rig / bow sprit. I bought her for my wife on Mother Day 25-years ago. That is my story and I am sticking with it. In truth Papillon is both our mid-life-crisis. It is not possible to "share" a mid-life-crisis and you each must have your own. Mine is from the end of...

    Thanks. FYI, my wife made that spinnaker for my birthday about 12-years ago and it looks like I should get a very nice 28 to 30 mile deep-reach out of it today.

    We have Varoom! It started on the second pull. Thanks @jgmo your diagrams were a great help. Now I can go on my two-week cruise. Heading to the boat tomorrow morning.

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    I use it on the 10' Zodiac tender for my sailboat. It is never used at much more than 1/2 throttle because no matter how hard I push it, there is no way it will ever get onto a plane.

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    I was hoping to find a smoking gun, ie, a completely blocked jet but I could see through all of the holes in both the Main nozzle and main jet. I ran a wire through each hole anyway and blew everything out with brake cleaner. Hopefully it was one of the many chunks that had been pulled up to...

    1994 BF2 BAES carb

    I finally got the carb off. The pile of debris in the upper right corner is what was in the bowl. Can't figure out why it wouldn't run. ;) :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    That is funny. They show the part in two different places with different designations.
