Looking for better priced parts. Being in the desert local options are limited. For parts on the outboard I run they either came from Crowley or ebay. Searched, but still haven't found a junction box. Found one for parts on ebay, but not a complete one. Also looking for a part number to narrow...

Checked them out. Signing up for guest membership.

The more i look at it, the more i have doubts about it. If I want to do a basic tune up on it, just the fuel pump parts, diaphragm, carb gaskets and new plugs and plug wires are over $250. Distributor cap is close to double that...

Thank you. That gave me the part number I needed to find a printed version. I do better turning pages than having it on a screen.

Thanks, I did not know that about the special tool, or the BMC gear oil. If we decide to get that far into it, this is very useful. Need to order a manual, to act like I know what I am doing when checking it out.

That's a whole lotta fuel. I was told this thing didn't get good mileage when it was pulled.

Will do, thanks for the advice.

Location is Las Vegas area. It came from northern Utah. The old boat it came out of sat for years in a field behind the barn of the original owner (also passed away). I didn't see it the boat there when I was up there. So I don't have wiring, junction box, controls or linkage.

Was helping clean out my dad's shop last weekend and in the corner was an old V4, 75HP, 62 johnson model V4A 14L. It sat for 10 years in his shop, an older guy in town had given it to him before he passed he probably had it as long as well. Not sure what I'll do with it. It's too heavy for...

Was out on Lake Mead yesterday, launched from Calville Bay. Pulled up to a point in a cove we like to fish, and just drifted with the wind. Had a boil or two flow past us and were catching a lot of stripers and a smallmouth. Used the purple colored Yamamoto grubs. (Cinnamon, w/black metal...

They seemed to be unprepared beginners with bad luck. They didn't notice the 2 foot water rise. Floated down to sheer sides, fought like hell when the wind got stronger to not blow into said cliffs, and were totally wore out when we happened across them, floating down the river. We were the...

Morning on Lake Mohave a few weeks ago.

My buddy caught this fat cat last night on one of those sea urchin lures. Didn't get a picture of the lure, but will have some for next trip. Rescued a family after dark on the way back at about 10pm. He was on a blow up paddle board. Wife and 2 kids in a blow up canoe. It was high tide...

Great day fishing today. Went out again this morning. There was a cool four mph breeze on the water until about 0930 or so. 94 degrees at the dock when we started, 116 when I got in the truck at about noon, to load the boat. Thank God for good ac in the truck. I caught 11 smallies. My...

The mountains where I grew up, flourescent green mister twisters would catch just about everything.
