Dad and I have run chainsaws and outboards on ATF and gasoline. You mix it closer to 16:1 , where using SAE 30 is mixed closer to 24:1 and using SAE 40 is mixed closer to 40:1. Dad used to work in the test lab at Tecumseh. There were many oils tested over the years and run hard. The biggest...

I use star marine rebuild kits

And set the dwell BEFORE you set timing

I'm out... Good luck

Nothing wrong with ATF, or straight SAE 30 Years ago before 2-stroke oil, you mixed SAE30 with gas for 2-stroke motors

put a pressure gauge and verify you have fuel pressure. this is a troubleshooting technique that you keep ignoring. read post #13. use a DVM to check the diodes if your motor follows the circuit in post #13. specifically check the feed from the key switch AND the feed from the alternator...

I would agree, however based on the guy in the video that Bondo posted, there were issues causing gaps in the sides between the concrete and the FRP G-beam form. the gaps would indicate that the FRP was failing way before the top deck was applied. in my best Yoda voice...... Bridge replacement...

when I gel coated my bilge, I took grey, blue and red gel and speckled the bilge using a brush and the flick splattering method. that way, not only was it sealed, all the colors on the exterior were represented in the bilge, and it would help hide any oil spots, etc. Grey would be fine, its...

so....technology developed by students at U of Main..... installed with multiple "repairs to the FRP" noted gaps in the FRP forms that needed mitigation Bet there is at least one U of Maine graduate along with the project manager going "Oh Ship" I dont know what the 'best" bridge is, as...

Yamaha Ring Free is used often on 2-stroke motors that sit for loooonnnnnngggg periods of time. some people use seafoam. if you have stuck rings from carbon, it works. if you have stuck rings from rust, it doesnt work.

the exposed plywood on the ski cover screams "boat has issues"

on a volvo with the raw water impeller mounted to the crank snout, the bag wont work. as Alldodge pointed out, you need water pressure to push water to the impeller. you would be better off getting a volvo neutra-salt system and just hitting the button as you come to the trailer.

If you're into that, go for it. Me, I take one of my many dwell meters, set dwell while doing a spring service, then don't think about it again for a year I normally set dwell while cranking as I am adjusting the points

Send me a small pile of cash

Hydraulic seals last about 15-20 years Most like the piston seals are leaking and bypassing the piston. Easy test, lower outdrive, pull the up hose, then press down. If the piston seals are bad, oil will come out the ports up ports in the cylinders
