    So these two props are 15-1/4" diameter. Does 15-1/4" fit an Alpha 1 (to clear the cavitation plate that is)? If it does fit, would that...

    @Scott Danforth What prop brand/model did you run on your 15P 3 blade? All I can seem to find in a 14-1/2" diameter 15P 3 blade (and...

    The yellowish buildup on #2 was what caught my eye as well. Since it's only on one cylinder I'm thinking perhaps there's a valve seal...

    These are the plugs the manual calls for: BPR6EFS 3623 which is heat range 6 (medium heat). Perhaps a leak down test is in my future. No...
