    QJet electric choke fun times

    I was leaning over the engine from the other side, and I think I tried to pull the clip off at an odd angle, it was tight. Thanks for the info.

    QJet electric choke fun times

    I'm just going to get another electric choke. Does it matter if it's marine or if it's 2 or 4 barrel? (the carb is marine) I see a few for Quadrajet 2bbl, but it looks the same as mine

    QJet electric choke fun times

    I have my engine on a test stand, a rebuilt 350/5.7 with a freshly rebuilt Quadrajet marine 4BBL carb with an electric choke. After a test run, I pulled the lead from the electric choke and the whole plate came with it (see pics). Do I just put it back on and make sure it's tight, or should I...

    4bbl 350 intake question

    These were just pics from the internet, I’m looking to get a new intake soon and I keep seeing these different cutout shapes. Thanks for the info

    4bbl 350 intake question

    I have a decent handle on spread vs square carbs, and primary and secondary bores, but the intake manifold interfaces throw me. Might be a dumb question, but for a 4bbl spread, what’s the difference between the opening for each of the four bores vs the two open ovals? I assume there are pros...

    9670 Carb question

    Thanks guys, I'm going to replace it, it's from an engine rebuild and the current one is pretty trashed. I'll check out the 1409.

    9670 Carb question

    Rebuilding a 90's 5.0 I/O engine. Carbs are my weak point. Worn ID photo attached. I see a few remans for 9670 carbs online, does the -4 at the end mean anything? I've seen a few 9670A-2 carbs for sale, but not a -4 yet. Would any 9670 reman work?

    What did I find in my hull?

    '94 Bayliner 1950. I've removed the deck and stringers and seatboxes and I'm 95% down to bare hull. Instead of grinding away the glass tabbing where the stringers and deck meet the hull, most of the glass is delaminating from the hull, and I can just peel it off (sometimes it does need some...

    Bayliner Capri new foam dilemma

    So, it's raining sideways, which means no boat work right now, and I'm plotting the future a bit. I have a '94 19' Bayliner Capri 1950, the deck is gone and the stringers are next. As the rain pours, I can see that it's just collecting in the below-deck space, outside the stringers. I had wet...

    Transom Terminology

    '94 Bayliner Capri 1950. So when pulling off the deck, I was worried about transom rot. The deck is trash, the stringers are surprisingly okay, except for a couple inch-or-two spots along rotted bulkheads. I Dremelled the deck right up to the stern, and saw clean fiberglass. Then, I drilled...

    1994 Bayliner Capri 1950 Restoration

    (Sigh, limited to 6 images per post, so this will be broken into a few parts....) I've been a long time lurker on the iboats forum, popping in lately to ask a question, but really learning a lot by reading all those who have gone before me. I figured I'd jump in whole hog and make a post...

    Block chipped at manifold

    '93 Mercruiser 3.0L/181 In the process of overhauling the engine. I was attaching a new manifold, and as I was turning one of the bolts, the block gave way at the bolt hole and chipped out a small chunk of the block (see pic). The chipped area is a bit away from the block/manifold opening...
