    Trailer questions for vintage Glastron Tri-hull

    My Cousin had the same boat, it rode very nice for a 15ft. I don't know what yr it was, but the Motor was a 72. It too, was on a Calkins trailer, and the Rollers at the Transom weren't a very good fit, and due to design, not Adjustable.

    1974 evinrude 6hp coughing

    BTW cleaning the Carb is not getting a can of Gumout or other carb cleaner, and spraying down the Throat. All that gets you is a nice clean throttle valve. You need to take it apart, including the disc above the Idle ports, and then clean it. A replacement disc is included in the Carb Kit.

    Quit on the Water!

    if there is Oil on the Armature Plate, it is usually coming from the upper Crankshaft Seal. If Oil is getting out, air is getting in and causing a Leaning of the fuel mix for the top Cylinder.

    175 2 stroke wont rev past 2k

    When you lost the spark the engine and the Switch Boxes were warm. When you tested them they had likely cooled down. Get the Wife's Hair Dryer, heat the Switchboxes up for several minutes, and see if the spark vanishes. Other parts, like the Trigger are also susceptible to heat. The carbs on the...

    How about getting a new Tachometer? Very few, and I mean, very few people can tell, by sound, what rpm an Engine is running

    Turning Vintage and going Chrome

    I woke up half way thru the procedure, and was watching the Monitor. They realized I was awake when I asked a Question about what I was looking at, and the answer was more La La Land Juice.

    Enough horsepower?

    However do not expect a difference in Speed of more than One or Two mph, as the Pitch changes from low to high, within a given Prop Line. More Pitch increases the Load on the Engine, and a lower WOT rpm results, and overall, little if any change to Top Speed. Changing Brands/Model of the prop...

    Welcome to iboats Are you saying, the compression in one cylinder is 60psi in one test, then upon a retest, it is 210?

    1960 Evinrude Lark II 40hp cam follower not contacting cam?

    No. Read the pages. Your engines uses the later linkage, and refers to Image M9-7, which is what your engine has. Enlarge the pic a bit and the Pic becomes Clearer. I also suspect the Fuel Saver Linkage is a bit out of wack. Adjustment of it is also explained, and Images OM9-8 and OM9-9

    BRP reveals a new style of outboard, Rotax powered, horizontal crankshaft....

    That must be why those new to boating keep asking if 150hp on a 16 ft boat is enough to pull a Skier. A 50hp 2 Stroke on the same size boat could pull a couple of people with ease, but not these Torqueless things sold these days
