Would a 50hp motor work on a 24' pontoon? What size prop would it take? What are some guidelines to follow when
repowering an old pontooon? I guess I need a long shaft motor for this right? How long? thanks -jb
Will someone confirm these jet sizes on my carbs?
wh-29 carbs on '84 merc v-6 150 sn6552156
.056 idle air jet
.064 main jet
currently I have a mixture of .060 and .058 on the idle jets
thanks
'84 Merc 150 sn6552156. Does the rubber ring on the top of the pump (the one that the drive shaft goes through) fit into the housing or sit on top of the housing? thanks.
Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my max timing after installing a new stator and trigger (cdi). I'm on the final step of the sinc and linc but the trigger stops at about 20* and wont go any further. I've got 11/16" on the link rod from the center of the bent rod to the adjustment barrel, not...
Hey guys, I noticed that the leads on my trigger were made longer on the yellow sleeve than on the black sleeve. Are the yellow leads supposed to go on the power pack next to the block? If so mine are backwards. It starts and runs fine, though. Thanks.
Hi, on an '84 v-6 150. I checked the check valves by blowing through them, and they all worked but the one on the airbox. It would blow both ways but real hard to blow. Is that a check valve or just a fitting with an orifice? thanks
I'm using this switch to disconnect power to the boat when not in use. It is a blue sea on/off switch. One terminal is labeled battery one is labeled common. I just bought this today and I must be dumb, but there shouldn't be a hot wired to a common right? What does this mean? I thought common...
Could a bat switch loose connection some how while i'm running and blow my rectifier? Also I currently have a 1,2 or all switch, but I only need to charge one battery off the motor. Would a simple on/off switch work? thank you.
My motor kept dying on my last weekend at the lake when I would run at top speed. It didn't chug like it was out of gas it just suddenly lost power. It would start again and run like a top then die again. Back at home on the muffs I noticed the tach is not working. Could it be that there's a...
What's the best way to wire 3 batteries on an outboard bass boat? The current set up is 2 deep cycles on nothing but the trolling motor, and one dual purpose battery for starting and electronics, nav lights, etc. I would like to keep the starting battery for just that and wire my electronics...
I know what the book says, but I'm curious what an exp. mechanic recomends. I need timing figures for an older motor to achieve good idle quality and top end. Motor has good compression, and also has the idle stabilizer box removed. Thanks.
