    V4 Powerhead Bolt Spacing

    Knew I had this 'round here somewhere. (Done drawed it myself! ...) So before y'ask will this or that fit this or that? Please review. The only exception to this is the '77 140. And only the 140. It matches the newer pattern.

    Auto Tach on V4 2 stroke OB?

    Since I've had little luck finding a period correct tach. A buddy gave me this Sun Pro to try. It read way high on the 4 cyl setting but on 8 cyl it appears to be about right. Can this be?

    '83 140 fuel starvation top end

    New Shop

    Looks like we'll be moving into a bigger shop March 1st or thereabouts. Without going into any great detail the 'situation' with my new neighbors has become unbearable. Good news is the shop is 25 x 50 vs the current 20 x 30. Bad news is the rent is more, naturally. I'm hoping to offset the...
