    250 OX66 idle warmup

    I have started having trouble with my 2001 250 OX66 on warmup idle. The motor when cold used to rev up to around 1400 rpm for a minute or two, then idle back down to 700 rpm. Now when it's started, it doesn't go to high idle to warmup, just to around 600 rpm, no matter what the outside...

    2001 250 OX66 Bypass Valve

    I'm installing a new bypass valve and it's different from my old one. The old one had a cross on each end, the new one has a cross on one end and a half moon shape on the other. My question is, does the cross end go in the grommet in the block or in the spring on the other side. Thanks

    2001 250 OX66 Drive Shaft Bushing

    I was getting ready to reinstall the lower unit after a water pump change, and noticed the drive shaft bushing was a little loose. By little loose, I mean I can take a screw driver and wiggle it just a little. Should this bushing have a tighter fit? Should I replace it or let it ride. Thanks
