    Any heating and cooling guys out there?

    Got the news today ... my main floor heating/cooling unit has pretty much given up the ghost :eek: I trust the guy who looked at it for me (he's worked on our stuff a couple of times, and has excellent references), and he says it could be repaired (condenser problems - I'll get specifics...

    What are the worst 3 vehicles you have ever owned.

    Re: What are the worst 3 vehicles you have ever owned. Mine looked almost just like this one: Mine was the auto too, and you're right the five speed was completely gutless. The auto was a dog off the line, but right around 40MPH that turbo would really get going and that car would take off...

    Where to get carpet

    Re: Where to get carpet In this picture I hadn't done cleanup on the floor yet, and have just realized that I never did another shot with the floor specifically: 40 year old floor, and fake smoked wood finish on the seats to boot. Newer stuff is MUCH nicer looking. A couple of guys have...

    72 omc stern drive 225 overhting ???

    Re: 72 omc stern drive 225 overhting ??? It's tough (I think) to submerge the drive enough to get water running through the system. It's supposed to be this deep when operating: If you've got this hose attachment on your unit, run some water in that to see if the system is cooling: If you...

    Re: 72 omc sterndive electric shift What kinda' controller are you using Rich? There were two or three possibilities. On mine: The shifting is simply forward to engage forward, back to engage reverse (gotta' push the little button on top). To "rev" in neutral, all you can do is pull the...

    Re: OMC 2.3 Oil Change Problem Mine's an older unit ('72), but the type of "top" he's talking about you can see in this picture: Toward the bottom right of the photo, you can see the dipstick and the oil drain connection next to each other.

    Re: 1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems I can't tell where the wires are going in that photo, but I can't see the knife connectors typical of electric shift. What Howard meant by the props is that an electric shift prop would look like this: ... You might have a prop that allows...

    1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems

    Re: 1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems IF you're electric shift, you should be able to find the shift cables for your drive on the port side of the engine back by the intermediate housing. They'll look kinda' like this: You can see mine resting on the top of the blower hose. There...

    stringer 800 wont shift into forward

    Re: stringer 800 wont shift into forward Shoot a coupla' pictures and post 'em up. Maybe you do have an 800 after all ... I don't really see where they clipped a 350 on any of the Stringers, so there's a chance you have something of a "Franken-motor" and they replaced the original drive with...
