Got my electrical squared away for the moment and went to make some adjustments on my Holley 4010 and cannot get one of the floats to respond and I can't figure it out.

    ghost in the machine ?

    I have posted part of this in my starcraft post but believe I should have done it here instead . I have a battery drain . While investigating the reason why some other things came up that make no sense to me. When I set the engine in ( 5.7 ) I tested the switch panel and most of it worked no...

    in contemplation of big boat restoration --

    I am nearly finished with my current resto of my starcraft and will soon put it up for sale locally . I seems to me that most restoration parts cost the same whether they are being used on a vessel that is 20 ft. or 35 ft. , so I am considering buying something in the neighborhood of a 34 ft...

    Next is pick up work. Glovebox carpet and door . Never anchored the engine doghouse to the deck so will take care of that and the little things that need to be done. For some reason my vacuum gage shows the timing is off so guess I'll fire up the engine and both re-adjust the carburetor and...

    Piddlin along but looking like I'm getting something done anyway. The Red , White and Blue segments and the grey segments were tucked into the cracks of the foam and then stapled on the back of the board. I did not sew the grey to the the red, white and blue .This gives me the ability to...

    I need to touch up the stern of my boat and paint the Cobra outdrive soon .

    repaint is done ! No matter what I'm finished with shooting paint on these window frames. Of course when mixing the paint and before shooting the 2nd coat of primer the %$*%^^%$#$# wind started up and by the time I was done with the second primer coat the wind was blowing around 6-8 mph. I had...

    Ok , I'm stopping at two coats , starting to pile up a little here and there so good enough. Hopeful to install tomorrow. That should be interesting as I do not believe that the consoles are anywhere near equally lined up.

    Dang , could have used that bit of knowledge a long time ago . Too late for the window frames with the primer but will shoot the top coats accordingly with your methods. I bought this touch up gun to shoot these frames with( and other smaller jobs ) but have never used it , don't suppose...
