My bilge pump works with the dash switch. So that side is fine.
The float does not operate it however. I have verified the switch at the float is good. I also have 12VDC going into the switch.
I disconnect the float wires @ harness and jumper the leads and nothing happens - jumping towards...
Moderators-please delete if this is an issue, but my last two posts got combined and now the last post link is acting really wonky. ‘Last post’ leads you t the first post of the 8 page thread.
Anyhow, is there any acceptable leak down rate in a block pressure test? My block has been under...
So does the MPI indicate fuel injection? As is Multiport FI ? I thought I read somewhere that the 4.3MPI took special graphite embedded head gaskets, that you do not spray before installing. All others are sprayed (hi tack - or what ever is spec'd).
Does a carburetor engine really take a...
So my job took a turn for the better late in 2016 and I was home pretty much on weekends only long enough to sleep and recharge. Needless to say everything was neglected, even the NEW drain plugs I put in for winterizing the engine the year before. So . . . . exhaust manifolds and at least one...

Anyhow, I took a look at a few things just now. I pulled two hoses to verify the check balls weren't open or stuck. They both look fine.
Is it strange or bad that the hoses I am pointing at here NEVER get even warm? Nor the...
I have noticed in the three trips out this year that my cooling gage never really tops ~165* give or take. This is a 19' boat, I run it about 3900 rpm for six or seven miles (repeated route) and when I look at the engine after running, the tanks above the exhaust manifolds aren't even warm. The...
Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself and post up about my '57 Feather Craft Vagabond II (I believe). I got the boat years ago from my dad's uncle, after my grandfather's funeral. It had a '59 Lark 35 on it and ran like a top.
I didn't have the funds to do much with it at the time. A...
