    Switching to Synthetic

    There seem to be a lot of opinions or wive's tales about oils and which is better. They range from Pennzoil is 'yellow death' to 'only use the mfg recommended' etc etc...I've been using walmart supertech and have had no problems in my 93 J150GLETR, at least that I know of. I use seafoam and...

    Leaking VRO and hose

    93 J150GLETR I have two leaks in the VRO system. One at the primer bulb near the oil tank, and another at the very front of the vro unit. This leak was found running down the four wires and after removing the four front screws, it looks like the seal ring between the oil' in' component and the...

    Power Pack color coding - 90's

    I need to replace a power pack but I am hitting a wall on which one. My 1993 150 GLETR has a grey sleeved pack and a black sleeved stator. From what I have read, this shouldn't have happened and someone possibly put the wrong stator in there at some point. I do not want to repalce a stator...

    Stalling - No Spark

    Thought I had a fuel issue but I'm dropping spark to all cylinders. Motor will start fine cold and usually runs ok. Sometimes it will stall at idle, just simply shut down. Other times it will stall at or near WOT. When it does this it either just simply shuts down or cuts in and out a couple of...

    Metal carb bowls?

    Can you get metal bowls for a '93 J150GLETR? Can't seem to find them as an option, although I thought I read that they exist... Or am I stuck with the plastic ones? I've had two sets warp now. Original ones were bad, and then replacements warped in less than a year. The torque was dead on...

    150 stalls at WOT...no obvious issues

    1993 J150GLETR. Boat starts fine when launching, and generally runs pretty good. Bulb pumps firm, hold key in for 8 secs, fire it up, warm up, and go. Lately I have had a few problems with stalling at WOT. If I keep it just under WOT, it does ok. But sometimes when I go to WOT, it will act...

    Problem with Bearing Seal

    I took my hub off to check the bearings on a new trailer. All looked good so I cleaned it up, repacked, and replaced the seals. Original seal was National 204017. Napa had CR 16069...said they crossed and the measurements were same. Problem is the new seals will not slide onto the spindle...

    Help with broken bearing buddy

    I went to fill up my bearings with grease and when removing the gun, the zerk fitting came with it. I could hear air escape as the spring plate collapsed inwards. I assume this cannot be fixed so I will be replacing the BB's at some point. In the meantime, I need to take a trip of about 100...

    Not another additive thread

    We've seen tons of opinion threads on what additives are best. I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone uses without the anecdotal evidence, opinions, marketing hype etc. Just state what you use and when, NOT WHY. I'm interested in who uses what and if anyone combines additives...

    how many carb kits?

    I need to rebuild my carbs but I'm not sure how many kits I need, this will be my first rebuild. Does one kit just do one carb, or the whole engine. I suspect I need 6 but would like to verify before I order them. 93 150 Fast Strike - J150GLETR
