    alternator pulley came off while underway

    Had a weird thing happen this afternoon. Twin CH220 crusaders. Was heading home at about 2000rpm, had been underway for about an hour. All of a sudden the port side overheat alarm goes off and I noticed the temp was up to like 230. I cut the engine. Opened the hatch, found the alternator...

    What causes quadrajet off-idle stumble/throttle lag?

    Recently put a brand new quadrajet carb on my starboard side Crusader. I am having this problem where when I increase the throttle, the engine will "stumble" and the RPMs will go down for a bit then jump back up to normal. It does not happen when I smoothly increase the throttle, only when...

    Port engine runs hotter than starboard

    Hi guys, This is on my '76 Crusader 220's, FWC half-system. Having this problem at cruising above 2500 RPM. The port engine (counter-rotating) gets up to 190 degrees while the starboard engine stays at 160. When I bring it down to 1800 RPM or lower the port side will cool back down to 160...

    No fuel pumping problem

    I replaced my fuel pump with another one off of a similar 350 Crusader. Here's how it unfolded, - Removed all the fittings from the old pump, noticed there is fuel in both lines (to carb and from tank) - Put in the new pump, engine did not start - Removed that pump, installed a different pump...

    A lot of corrosion... fuel pump

    Hi guys, I was up at my boat this weekend and noticed I am getting a ton of white, powdery corrosion from somewhere. What exactly is this stuff? I have dual 1976 Crusader 220's and replaced the fuel pump on the starboard side only last summer, yet I noticed today it is already venting gas in...

    alternator rotation

    The original Motorola alternator on my port engine froze up so I ordered a new 1-wire model (10si style). These alternators seem to have a fan that is oriented in one direction. Unfortunately I think that engine is rotating the wrong way. Anything wrong with just replacing the fan with a...

    crusader 220 fuel pump replaced - question

    I had fuel in the clear tube so got a new fuel pump in the mail. Tonight I installed it. A couple of odd things happened, just wondered if they are normal. I could not get "behind" the pushrod without removing the plate that holds it up. I removed the plate, *plink* out comes the rod and...

    Which thread sealant for gas line

    What do y'all use on the threads of gas lines? I got some Permatex paste with Teflon (looks kind of like TFE paste) from Autozone and that seems to work pretty well. This is on the 2 fittings between the fuel pump and carb. It is a gooey substance that is applied with a brush integrated with...

    Hooking up PCV hose to carb inlet

    Hi again, In swapping out a carb from one of my crusaders, the old carb appears to be a 1968 model (#7028282) even though the engines are 1975. The new carb does not have a PCV port in the back like the old one did, but I found a plugged port in the front that looks similar, below the throttle...

    Quadrajet fuel line question -- Crusader CH220's

    Hi all, In my boat I have a pair of Crusader CH220's, 1975 vintage, with 1100 hours and still running strong. On one of the engines I am replacing the carb with a new Q-jet I bought on eBay. Everything hooks up fine except for the fuel line, it looks like I have a 5/16" fuel line and the new...
