The black crud is carbonic its dripping out that means you have carbon and need a decarb. If you have little to no smoke coming from exhaust using Seafoam ,that means you are not using enough of it. Charlie
I am looking to PREVENT an issue. PM kinda thing. I had an issue with an old Evinrude some years ago that could have been prevented with proper decarbing. Btw,how do you actually know if your old Merc doesn't have much buildup? Charlie
For 1st start of the spring I typically pull the plugs and crank a few times to discharge any overabundance of fogging oil, put plugs back in and start her up.THIS spring I decided to introduce some Seafoam into the cylinders let sit for an hour and then start her up.I figured ,since I usually...
UPDATE....turns out that the 18" spare is the proper spare from the manufacturer.or it at least is making more sense and here is why.On a Jeep forum a member sent me a tire size calculator.When I put the 17" tire size in with the 18" spare, the tire size calculator had the tire height exactly...
Yep the spare is a totally different tire .I feel like a tool for never thinking of checking but I would have been a bigger tool if I was stuck on the road with a flat and slapped that spare on.THAT would have been a real disaster.Charlie
Took me a long time to find this out.
Purchased Jeep new .Never had a flat.Checked that there was a steel wheel spare and jack when new.Everything looked good.
Fit in the well perfectly with the 2 removable triangular storage wells. Black firm foam jack and handle holder fit perfectly. Picked up...
I dont know how my thread got to charging ???Well anyway ,for about $5 on sale you can get a maintainer at Harbor freight.Got one for my lawnmower and seems to be doing the job.Charlie
Out of boredom on a lousy lousy weather day yesterday,I climbed inside the shrink-wrap of my Grady white and checked the levels on one of my batteries.The 2 outside fills were lower than the rest.I added a few ounces of distilled water in each. Curious if I could have used battery acid from an...
But is the shifter straight??? Or off center as Bt.Doc has noticed.If it is
not straight ,it may get hung up on the slotted guide under the bell housing exhaust port.Charlie
I am guessing that your shift lever/shoe is not entering the guide on the bottom of the bell housing cleanly.Possibly the lever/shoe is not perfectly straight when in fwd .This will stop the drive from advancing the exact amount you are experiencing.Charlie
What I am seeing in your 1st pic is pretty common.Happens to me most times I install and turning the prop usually gets it much closer.Dont expect the drive to go all the way on without tightening the nuts.Make sure the drive is not popping out of fwd during install.What are you doing to make...
