    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    when you start with a blatantly untrue "fact" about power generation, and then proceed to "greenie weenie", you pretty much show your capacity for a discussion.

    Flux Marine Outboard Engines . . .

    I'm always curious as to why people are scared of renewable energy and then double down as if their manhood is in doubt when questioned about it. Certainly as a nation we're better off with more renewable energy, but keep going...

    4.3 gxi run without water...

    is that all? the rubber didn't feel crunchy last time out. are there exhaust shutters? I'm secretly hoping that she ruins this engine so that I get a nice new upgraded hull (21' chappy, way nicer than mine) for free that I can throw a carb V8 into...

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    yes. who did the install? what brand cable? it can bind if not routed correctly, and any kink in the outer housing will ruin the cable. either way, it's an easy for step to check

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    make sure it moves with zero resistance. doesn't take much drag on the cable to screw things up

    4.3 gxi run without water...

    so I winterized a friend's 2012 (again) last year in December after she kept saying that she was going to get it done... anyway, it was near freezing at the time, and I apparently left the plugs out and hoses off. this spring, I couldn't remember if I had replaced that stuff or not. short...

    Merc 350 bolt v 2 barrel carb fluctuating RPMS

    Also a tb4 module should work fine. Edit: rereading this, did you replace the ignition sensor before or after you started having problems?

    projects other than boats

    First time I did this had no choice but to transport the sander in my boxster. Needed to remove the seat to fit it, knowing I'd trip the airbag light . Cost me $50 to have it reset. I've found that unless the floors are really trashed the oscillating square buffer does a great job and keeps you...

    Screeching Noise from Frankenstein 383

    I need to put a momentary oil pressure bypass switch on mine to prime the carb. starts first crank when warm or if used within the last few days. takes an embarrassing amount of cranking if it sits for a while. always concerned I'm going to kill my battery
