I'm working on a 1996 Four Winns 220 Horizon. It's got a floor panel creaking when it's walked on. I bought plywood, thinking it must be soft, (and a couple other projects) and after removing the panel I find the supports that go across the fuel tank are cracked. They cut a V notch in the bottom...
There is a stop screw that keeps the air valve from sticking closed, the valve closes well against the stop, but the idle is still erratic and around 1200 rpm. Even if I back it out, with the valve closed tight. Shifts easily in and out of gear out of the water, but very had to get out of gear...
Are you talking about under the Upper Manifold? Under the Throttle Body? I will get some brake cleaner, (easier on paint) and spray selectively around that area as well as the base of the upper intake. I'm familiar with the OBD II test ports on autos, but what do I need, and how do I connect to...
I have a 1996 220 Horizon that idles around 1200 rpm. Somewhat erratic and slow to return to idle after revving or running at speed. So far I've changed the IAC valve, the TPS adjusted the stop screw to just the point that the butterfly does not stick, and resealed the two throttle body gaskets...
Thanks for all the good advice and tips. Lou C, I once watched a short block on a test stand being spun with oil pressure to do a break in. At around 600 rpm all the pistons looked like they were all at the top of the cylinders. At 1000 rpm you could push straight down with your finger on top of...
So turns out both the small ones are broken. One is just a hole, the other is just what's left of the backing. These do not have screws to mount, like the chrome one in the third pic which I think is the anchor locker drain. Sorry the pics are not better. As stated I have searched the web many...
My 1996 Four Winns 220 Horizon has small clamshell drains on each side for the cupholders that are just in front of the windscreen. One is broken off on the outside of the hull, and the other is dented. I have searched around the ol' interweb unsucessfully. Does anyone have a part number or a...
So here's the update. Seals for the older style cylinder are not available. Five Star Marine does not offer any service for them. The new style is a very nearly direct replacement, but for the clevis pin to attach the steering cable being a tad short. Half a cotter pin hole. Sourced a remanned...
Sure seems to be true so long as one has the ability and the time. That is an advantage of being retired and having tools and a place to use them. I wonder if I should let the previous owner know what kind of issues I found, not that I'm unhappy with the deal, but so he might be better informed...
I'm sure glad you guys clued me in to the flapper issue. Here's a couple pics of what I found in the exhaust port of the transom, and after an hour and quite the string of 4 letter words what I got out. Also noticed a nut missing, quality work from the shop who resealed the outdrive just before...
Thanks for the info. I'm fine not replacing the flappers, and it doesn't seem like there's a concern to fill the holes in the y pipe but to make sure the clamps cover them.
Exhaust seems to exit down and out through a rectangular port under the outdrive. In my Volvo Duo Drive does it also exit...
