    Something that will hold up as a step down off my bow, right now the winch gear is my step and it's not the best especially in bare feet, I'm thinking about doing something with some aluminum skid plate material I have resembling a square fender over the winch to both protect it from the...

    Bow roller extention bells

    I think thats they're called, they are used on either end of the roller to widen the "V" surface area. I was looking at a set shown in Overtons magazine for both 3" and 4" rollers. My question to anyone whom has installed them, are the caps meant to roll along with the roller? To me it looks...

    67' 80hp v4 serious fuel leak but runs great?

    Fuel leaking with a torrent, it's comong from around the shift rod access cover and wherever it can find a way out, all fuel hoses are good, it's all dry around the motor shroud below the carbs and near the fuel connecter, seems internal, would a bad fuel pump diaphragm cause this? The engine...

    pulled the leaf plate 67 v4 what a mess

    I've been chasing this little problem of having to have my idle stop screwed way out in order to achieve idle with throttle plates closed as they should be. I've been through the carb too many times to count. Today I removed the leaf plates and found the gasket deteriorated pretty bad and the...

    Cleaning distributor cap posts with a file

    $135.00 cap is what I'm being told if I can even find a supplier, I've scratched off the carbon each year for several years now I'm to the point now of needing to file the surface flat again, wondering how much is too much material to remove? probably about a .010 would clean it up.

    Question & pics of homemade tell tale

    I made this tell tale out of a brake line I had laying around the garage, used compression to pipe elbow and a compression bulkhead fitting with 1/8 barb as an outlet. (HVAC pneumatic controls). Anyhow, wouldn't the pee stream alone remove enough heat to at least make a cool spot on that...

    Top speed comparisons

    Mainly interested in the 60's V-4 My 67MFG is by far a speed demon even with the 80HP engine, is it because of the hull design being almost a flat bottom at the transom? What are some of you guys's top speeds? 32MPH here and seems like @ 4700 it should be faster but I can't identify the prop...

    Impeller tell tale on a 67 v-4

    I read the sticky on adding your home brew tell tale, but the question I have is, If the thermostat isn't open due to a cold engine on start up, or a malfunction wouldn't the tell tale stop streaming if pressure tap is off a passage in the block? If so than you would have to diagnose both stat...

    Points break method vs feeler guage

    Just wanted to know what the experts prefer, I've done it both ways and they never come up the same, points break method yeilds me a loose .026 with the points block right on the "o" in "top" of distributor cam. When feeling for .020 with guage points ends up breaking just after the notch lines...

    Engine won't run with throttle plates closed

    Should the engine run if the throttle plates are closed? I'm asking because all I've read indicates to adjust air fuel when throttle plates are closed, also did link sync and ended up with closed throttle plates, looking down the carburetor bore I can see reliefs cut into the throttle plates so...

    fixed jet orifice sizes

    I have two identical carbs, 60hp and one off 80hp both 67' v4's. I've closely compared one to the other and found 2 suttle differences, The 60hp carb has 76 stamped on the high speed orifice The 80hp carb has 63 stamped on the high speed orifice You would think it would be the other way around...

    Distributor idle stop screw ?

    Hi, just performed a link-N-synk by the book and it's all pretty straight forward exept for there is no mention of the thumb screw that sets the distributor stop? Depending on where the stop is set greatly effects the throttle cam adjustment, and I'm just not seeing any info on this stop...
