    Why would the electrode on a spark plug get smashed

    I use the L20V in mine....they will foul a little bit when trolling around but clear up with a good full throttle run. If your plugs are fouling that bad maybe running a little too rich....idk.

    Startup sneeze-1988 125hp

    While chasing a high rpm problem on mine, did the starting fluid test and found an air leak problem with the port cover gaskets. Replaced them today and noticed that my cold start cough or sneeze is gone. It has been doing that for a long time....seems to be gone now. Still need to check it...

    How long have you owned a Chrysler Outboard and what has been your experience

    If for some reason that plug turns out to be 1/4" or 3/8" (larger than 1/8) I have the adapter bushing kit to allow the 1/8" sender to be used. I bought it but didn't need it. Have no use for it so if you need it let me know.

    How long have you owned a Chrysler Outboard and what has been your experience

    My engine had a threaded hole with a plug on top of the engine near the thermostat housing. It was 1/8 NPT.....the sender screwed in there. Some have used that hole to add a telltale also. Not familiar with your engine so maybe another member on here has the answer.

    How long have you owned a Chrysler Outboard and what has been your experience

    Are you sure your engine is a 1974? Several parts diagrams I looked at (Crowley and Marineengine) don't show a 135 hp until 1976....and they show a thermo switch you would need to install an alarm. Do you know your serial #? Or model #?

    How long have you owned a Chrysler Outboard and what has been your experience

    Iboats sells the parts I bought....I used Faria products......2 inch water temp gauge #12812 (100-250 degree). Temp sender #TS1029 1/8" NPTF for American Single Standard. Some, like Racerone prefer a water pressure gauge? I wanted the temp gauge. Their 2 inch gauges come in several...

    How long have you owned a Chrysler Outboard and what has been your experience

    "So I guess your engine overheated and ruined the powerhead." That's it.....was running near WOT when it suddenly started slowing down and died. Only then could I hear the overheat buzzer under the console. Back then I wasn't aware about changing the impeller every couple years or so and...

    1978.....my dad bought the family a brand new Caddo bass boat with the 85hp Chrysler that year and have been using it ever since. The engine has worked remarkably well over the years, despite some periods of "setting up" and lack of regular maintenance from the ignorant owners. Lol. In the...

    Trim and tilt visible leaks

    My thoughts on the price......$89 for the tool or $150+ for a used tilt cylinder on ebay....or $200 for a rebuilt unit from Franz Marine.....I ended up buying the one from Franz after I damaged mine by not using the proper tool and employing unsound shop practices...lol

    Trim and tilt visible leaks

    Recently replaced the trim cylinder o-rings in mine....sprayed PB blaster on the bolts the night before....came apart surprisingly easy, but this is a freshwater motor.....Sarasota salt water might be a different story...
