    Foiled again

    Well, the carburetor rebuild went so well, I thought I had it made. While replacing the fuel/vacuum hoses I discovered a broken wire, going to the choke solenoid. After further investigation, I discovered all the wiring is so brittle they break like match sticks. With all the wiring shot, I'm...

    Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.

    I just wanted to say a big thank-you to all who post and answer on this forum. I cleaned and put a kit in the carb of my '77 35 hp Evinrude today and I didn't even have to post a question. I have the OMC manual and it was very helpful in removing carb from engine, however, it was this forum...

    Carb Cleaner

    Was at Wal-Mart this AM and noticed Supertech carb cleaner for $.93. Is that stuff any good? Man, you could clean every carb in the neighborhood with a half sawbuck's worth.

    Ole' 43 tapes

    OK. Nobody else wants to touch this so I'll do it. I heard excerpts of interviews of Ole' 43 taped by Doug Wead. As a longtime non-fan of Ole' 43 I was pleasantly surprised. He took a stance on disclosure of Mary Jane and Coke use that was spot on. As a long-time dem. I commend him and...

    Man, I hate this

    My garage/workshop is gradually being consumed by "rummage" in anticipation of the first spring garage/yard/rummage sale. The Warden has been spending time gathering up useless items from the house and depositing them in the said area. I'm told that when the event happens, I will be assisting...

    Silicone RTV

    Is there a significant difference in silicone RTV with respect to color. I see blue, white, clear, red, and black RTV, each claiming to be a gasket sealer, etc. Does the color actually mean anything or is it just asthetics.

    Basic Battery Question

    I will be buying a new starting battery soon and I have a very basic question. Are they fully charged when new, even though they may have been sitting on the store shelf for several weeks, or should they be "topped off" with a trickle charger?

    Shrinking Tubing

    In the past, I have used heat-shrink tubing for connections, but they were small ga. and the tubing was only an inch or so long. I shrunk it by simply waving a cigarette lighter under it for a few seconds. Now I'm fabricating a wiring harness and faced with shrinking several feet of much...

    Tree Huggers vs. VS

    I'm not a tree hugger, but I do consider myself one who likes to see the environment managed/used responsibly. I guess I get that from Dad who was an ichthyologist. In this case I do agree with the "tree huggers". Victoria's Secrets needs to calm down. It was on the news this AM that they...

    spark plug question/confusion

    Evinrude 35hp, 1977, model 35753. My owners manual specifies L77JC4 spark plugs, so that's what I wrote on my Christmas list, and that's what my kids got me. After Christmas, I took them to the garage, opened and gapped them, and I'm ready to go. This engine hasn't been run in several years...

    Legal Question (another)

    I often hear on the local news a reference to someone being arrested for battery, arrested for assault, or arrested for assault and battery. What is the difference between "assault" and "battery"? Curious minds need to know.

    Filling defects in plywood

    I'm replacing the plywood floorboards in an aluminum boat. Without buying a gallon of something, what is a good product to use to fill nicks, dings, etc. prior to painting that can be bought in small quantities.
