I went to winterize my 2005 f200 and i noticed the top right plug was a dark tan with carbon deposits on it .. the rest of the plugs looked fine.. the motor has 82 hours on it and runs perfect no problems so far. I was just wondering if this is normal or the begining of something serous to come.
I have a 1989 ez-loader trailer, and where the roller arms attach to the pivot bracket are stuck and wont pivot back and forth. I kind of hesitant, about putting too much pressure or heat onto aluminum parts. Any recommendations how to take care or this?
thanks

Hi i have a 2005 f200 and noticed that on one of the rams the dust seal seemed wet. Could it just be a fault dust seal, and if so is it hard to change? i notice theres a C -clip holding it in, do you have to unscrew the trim cyclinder end?
thanks

I went to set the timing on my 1989 90hp crossflow today with a test wheel and was unable to get to 5800 rpms. The max it would go was to 5K. The test wheel does not have the same model number that was recommend by omc for my motor, but i was told that it would work the same. Im not sure if it...
