    1996 Kawasaki STS - no power

    1996 Kawasaki STS, ran great for an hour or so, the RPM's started falling off, no power wouldn't run much above an idle. When it would go dead, I could choke it to flood it with gas, would run great for about 5 seconds then back to not much above an idle. Took the carbs off last night and...

    1967 omc 155

    I'm trying to find out what the idle speed and minimum shift speed is in my 1967 OMC 155, with the V-6. I had it all wrote down somewhere, and I guess I ate it.

    1984 800 trim cylinders

    I recently acquired a 1984 OMC V6 (3.8L), with the hydraulic cylinders on the front of the motor. Is there anybody that offers rebuild kits for these? Mainly need the rubber bushings that attach at the bottom. Any and all help is always appreciated.

    1967 OMC Reveler 155

    Would anyone happen to know where I can find the tilt clutches and steel plates? I dont need the whole assembly, just the clutch pack. In the process of refreshing the paper and rubber, along with rebuilding the ball gears in my outdrive, figured I'd replace the tilt clutches while I'm at it...

    2000 Kawasaki NO fire

    2000 Kawasaki will not fire at the plugs. Checked CPS sensor, ignition coils, and condenser with an OHM meter everything checked out fine. Had already replaced stator. Seems to be leading to the EMM. Anyone else had this problem?

    I've got a 165 that was pouring oil out the outdrive, wouldn't shift, and a crack in the foot. Took a good 228 housing, installed my 165 gears, replaced both shift cables (through transom and to controls), new bellows, new gimbal bearing. Used the 228 lower unit and prop that came with it. Took...

    165 to 228 Pre-Alpha

    I've got a 165 outdrive that is needing rebuilding. Found a good 228 outdrive for very little money, that is in great shape. I know the gear ratios are different, the 165 is 1:65 to 1, the 228 is 1:50 to 1. Will it bolt up and mount properly? If so, will the different gear ratios harm my boat...
