I probably missed this reply but i thought i should address it in case anyone finds this thread in the future.
This is not entirely correct. It is true that some filaments are susceptible to UV. PLA lasting around 2-5 years before breaking down (if the heat doesn't get to it first)
ABS fixes...
Its nice to know its an anti-idiot feature. Should help keep me from blowing anything up. Also, with my boat being probably 350-400 lbs with me and fuel, is 25mph about expected for a 35 horsepower motor? After getting everything adjusted by feel and ear thats the absolute top speed when planed...
Its a '78. And i dont know what im looking at man, thats why im asking. In the context of the video, its the thing the camera is pointed at, hard to miss.
Ive sorted the throttle range now but still want to know what this is or does.
Having a little trouble getting the full range out of the control box and engine with the new cable. It was tuned for the broken one, but namely I want to know exactly what this part of the engine is/does and what the switch that it touches, for now.
I dont believe this was "activating" before...
My throttle cable is FUBAR. Its for a 1978 Johnson 35hp. I know its a 400 type control cable but its hard to find a used one with all the hardware on it. Ive found a few possible sale posts but none of the sellers know what they have or will even respond. Im not looking for a new one as none...
That could be one of the issues on this motor. Ill have to take a look and see if the butterflies line up on full throttle. First ill have to get a new throttle cable though. Just recently the sleeve popped out of the crimp and the crimp is cracked.
I plan to at some point, I'm looking for one that cost less than the engine though. I got the boat, engine, and trailer for 200. It'll be a minute before i fix everything enough to eclipse the worth of the manual to which id be more comfortable spending that much on one.
So far ive been...
Yeah the "dinking around" part as you kindly put it was because we were aware of some play between the throttle and choke and thought it might be because of that but didn't actually rev it as you said earlier. the thing you saw move was the choke which contributed to the rpm spike not, nevving...
I had it running before, but the idle was miserable and wouldn't hold. Wfter replacing the plugs, the coils and wires, and checking the carb... It idles great, but runs like hot dung.
Heres a video
Anybody knowledgeable of these engines? I sure am not. My knowledge of engines drops at the 90s...
