    8hp Johnson idles well, but stumbles under load, sometimes

    8hp Johnson idles well, but stumbles under load, sometimes

    Yeah , I get that your lawn trimmer crapping out isn't the same as swimming home . I have bought chinese carbs for both my quads and a kit for my Tohatsu and they look real good , clean castings ,decent looking rubber bits bla bla bla . A fuel pump , specially a vacuum diaphragm one is pretty...

    8hp Johnson idles well, but stumbles under load, sometimes

    Dumb thing to say ๐Ÿ˜ I dunno just how many millions of dollars worth of stuff they sell but the fact that they continue to sell stuff strongly suggests that it does work . Some of you guys are real bone headed when it comes to alternate parts .๐Ÿ˜

    stupid question - trailer lights

    I meant that ....in NZ we have yellow turn signal indicators , the US imports ( Dodge Challenger for instance ) dont , they flash the brake light at the rear and the side light ( we call them park lights ) at the front . Different but still obvious what the intention is .๐Ÿ™‚

    stupid question - trailer lights

    Oh yeah ,I forgot you guys wire up your lights all wrong๐Ÿ˜ , coz we separate the brake , tail and turn lights . Gotta say tho that I see quite a few US import cars and some big trucks now have the flashing brake light set up too ๐Ÿ™‚

    stupid question - trailer lights

    That thing could be an interface for trailer lights . If your vehicle has led lights it wont like having high drain incandescent bulbs on a trailer hooked up so they have this box that powers the trailer lights .....like a bunch of relays ....gets a power feed from battery ๐Ÿ˜

    There is no ethanol in any mainstream fuel here. One brand does sell E85 but not for general use but for racing . None of the 91 or 95 ron has ethanol . NPD sell 100plus ( still no ethanol ) which comes with anti corrosion additives and a stabiliser and is guaranteed to keep for 12 months in a...

    80 HP Mercury trim

    Might just be a relay . If your lucky you may be able to swap over the up relay for the down and see if the fault follows the relay . You could also use a volt meter to see if both relays are working. There is only one trim motor that spins one way for up and tother way for down ...ergo , if...
