No, I thought the foam is only for flotation purpose. Thanks for your reminder. I laid one more layer of fiberglass cloth to most of the bottom hull, hope that will give extra structural support. I don't have plan to add foam in at this time.

Update of my project: installed stringers: middle one is marine grade plywood, the two on each side are pressure treated lumber. I read a lot about not using lumber as stringers, but I don't want to purchase expensive marine ply, plus that lumber sits in my garage for over year taking space. I...

I coat the ply first, wait to dry, then brush resin and apply cloth. It's true there will be extra resin between cloth and ply. I will avoid this in the future.

Thanks for the encourage and help. I have read quite a few threads here including 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics and a lot youtube videos. I remember Scott Danforth mentioned transom get rotten before strangers, which push me to cut the transom when was wondering around. The thickness...

I purchased a 'boat' from an auction, called 'Photos Posted from Every Angle! - Take a Gamble & Bid Away!' Actually there are only 2-3 PS photos showing the outside. It's actually a project boat, shown in the pictures. I decided to complete the restoration project by my self after a few days...

It's so wet. What's happening?

Make sure she runs smooth and correct this time. Adjusting idle and timing is next learning. Too much to learn.

The secondary resistance of three coils: 1985ohms for the two old one, 2650 ohms for the new one. New coil is higher than old one. Primary resistance all about 0.5ohms.

Thanks. As Racerone indicated these are choke plates not throttle plates.

Maybe it's not a good angle. all three throttle plates are closed. I have updated new video after installing power pack and one ignition coil. How do you think the sound now. Installed one new coil first, tried, it's still as before. then I installed the new power pack, the following video is...

I didn't take out the jets (main jets), just clean it. I have just upload updated video after installing new power pack and one new coil.

I don't have one of the above tool, will get one soon. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks!!

Hello Raceone, I bend the gaps to 3/8", the motor won't start at all. Then I bend the gaps back to 1/8". She starts but still runs rough. Does this indicates the voltage received by spark plugs is not high enough? Will mostly power pack problem or stator problem?

Thanks Crosbyman. Will get a new pack and replace it.
