You will need to take the pump apart to inspect the diaphragm. You would be looking for tears or even a very small pinhole. No fuel should come out of the hole in the back. That hole is for the pulse that operates the pump. If the diaphragm has a hole it will deliver to much fuel If it were...

Thanks for the feedback. It’s always good to hear the end of the story.

Don’t blame you one bit. I always bring food and drinks when I’m invited somewhere and I’m all happy to help out. It’s just the right thing to do.

This has reminded me of a friend that did an assisted death. She had brain cancer and was ready to go so they found a doc in California and her last drink was a martini with whatever they use and she was surrounded by her family. That’s a good way to go out in my eyes.

I had a package out for delivery yesterday now they say it will be the 27th. Maybe are stuff is on the same truck.

You think the other post? I have but I’m suspicious of everything anymore.

I live on an island and years ago you could send mail to someone in the same town or another island town and it would be there the next day. Now it goes off island to RI for sorting and then comes back in about 4 or 5 days. It makes no sense to me but I’m sure there is reason.

Keep us posted. I love mushrooms of all kinds.

Looks like a ground cable. You should find yhe other end under transom bricked. Probably a ring terminal.

I know a guy that had his lower replaced and somewhere along the way they disconnected the no oil alarm and the engine seized as a result. The shipyard that did the work owned up to the mistake and replaced the power head on their dime. I was impressed that they didn’t try to get out of it in...

When I lived in Fl they would come come up Into the canals in the winter for the warmer water and even then they didn’t move much. They definitely don’t do well in cool water. They have been spotted up here on Cape Cod a few times over the years.

That will be my next stop if I can’t get it this time. I have a small torch tip that should deliver some heat without over doing it. I just redid the whole front end and this is the last pice of the puzzle. But really that joint is tight anyway so I’m to worried about it and have lots of time to...

I keep a spray bottle handy of the 50/50 mix for rusty parts. I love it. I have been spraying the pitman arm on my 4 runner daily for the past week as I have broken all 4 of my pullers on it. New puller’s are on the way we’ll see what happens.

Pretty cool

This is bringing back memories of using Marvels Mystery Oil in my 65 Rivera. A few weeks after that I broke a few rings and had to rebuild.

I have used it. It dries a bit lighter than what’s in the can. It’s very tough stuff. Don’t have a pic handy.

I picked up a Troy Bilt tiller yesterday looks to be a junior model. It’s in over all good shape and is well worth my effort bring it back to life. The carb is pretty rough and has a lot of internal corrosion and the needles are shot but it should at least be good enough to see if she runs. It...

Do a compression check to determine its over all health and that may help you decide which way to go with this.

Bush was my go to growing up. I could get a suitcase for $6.00. The good ol days.

I use the Permatex ceramic on the slide pins. It’s the pupe stuff. It makes a big difference on how well the calipers slide.
