Let someone chime in if they think this is a bad plan. I had an 85 Chris Craft and I changed all bellows, the drain plug, etc. Still had a small leak. I like no leaks..
I just couldn't see it on the lake so back on the driveway, I put a block under the tongue jack and jacked it up as high as...
Sounds like you're running on the choke.
At 3 minutes it should start backing off of the choke, leaning out your mixture. I'd say either your mixture is too lean, or the carb has picked up some junk in one of the orifices/jets.
Keep track of your mixture screw position and then give it a 1/2...
Sounds like it's half speed relative to the cranking. I'm thinking distributor bushings...
Mechanics stethoscope is like $5. Can touch it to the base and crank, or just pull the distributor assuming you're able to get get it back in correctly.
Might cover the hole in case it spits...
State doesnt have any info for CF 5821 CG? California is it? They should have hull number last registered owner and make\model. Wouldnt that be public info...maybe for a fee?
Sharp looking boat!
My 2007 Glastron has the hour meter on the drivers side below the throttle about shin high. Odd place for it and I'm sure you would have noticed it on yours. But just in case...
Going to be splashing a 2008 Glastron GT 185 XL today. Saw that it has a single rocker switch for trim and trailer.
My old boat had a separatre trailer switch button.
How does that work...did they do away with the up-limit switch and the up button goes all the way to trailer? Or is a press...
I saw a post on this awhile back and I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm going to be rebuilding my 2 BBL Merc Carb (1389-8940) which is sporting the factory black paint job. If I dump this in the current edition of Berryman's Carb Dip overnight, is this going to strip the paint, leave it...
I've just finished resealing my upper on my Scorpion 168 with a 140hp Alpha One Gen 1 (s/n 6898107) and find I have a slight groove on the driven gear shaft, keeping that seal from sealing. Leaks about 1/2 lb every couple of minutes and sloooow soap bubbling when I test.
I've searched and read...
Looking to replace my U-joints but one part isn't clear from my manual.
When I pull the stern drive, will the drive shaft pull out of the drive, just like it comes out of the splines in the drive coupler? Or do I have to do further disassembly (bearing cap, etc) in order to get the shaft to...
Hi!
I have 3 questions related to the same issue.
The boat is a 1985 Chris Craft Scorpion 168 open-bow.
The nuts on the bow deck cleat have stripped. Now the questions:
1. Does anyone know if there is an access hole behind the forward backrest cushion on this model boat that will permit me...
I'm looking to replace the BTB ounge seats on my Chris Craft Scorpion 168.
I have a current base height of 7" on a wide 20 1/2" seat. The only manufacturer of 8" base, 20" wide seats that I have found is Veada. At $299 a pop, they're a little more than I want to spend for my vintage/condition...
