    Bravo 1 oil leak

    Get some 3/8 x 16 all thread and cut so they are a inch or so longer then needed. Remove the bolts on the ends of the manifold. Screw in the all thread, then remove the rest of the bolts from the man. Slide the man off the all thread. This way you don't have to hold the man

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS problem at cold air temperatures

    With motor warmed up, spray some WD40 at the base of the carb and intake to see if the idle changes any. Can also use a small propane torch and let the gas only (don't light) and move it around the gasket area
