I have two tanks on my Ranger. Both tanks were filled the middle of June. We used one tank as a reserve when the the primary tank ran dry. The reserve tank is about 1/2 full. Should I drain the reserve tank or just add gas with seafoam?

I have used a friend's manual. I need to buy one for myself. Which manual should I order?

I believed my water pressure guage was going bad,it had water build up under the glass, so I replaced it with one from Basspro shop. The new one reads 5 psi at idle and about 12 to 14 at 3000-3500 RPMs with no increase to 4000-4500 RPMs. Sometimes the reading will flop back and forth between 10...

I submitted a question about my alarm going off. Looking back I found a great reply form JMARTIN about the cooling system. If any of you need an answer about this I would look back on June 27 "85 cooling system question". Thanks John for your reply

I have replaced the water plump and thermostat last May. Everything was running good. Today we were running about 1200 RPMs. When I thottled up to 3000 RPMs the overheat alarm went off. After I went back to 1000 RPMs the alarm stopped. This continued the rest of the day. Any ideas?

When I bought a 1985 ranger in December the trim operated great at wot. Now at wot I cannot trim up as much as I would like. Where can I add the hydualic fluid so as to trim up better. If I can get thru the summer adding a little fluid I will repair the leak this fall.

Excuse the stupid question, but what is difference between a 150 xr2 and the xr4?

Still working on the old ranger. Everything seems to be working OK thanks to the advice I have received from this site. Fishing yesterday a storm started moving in, so I went to wot to beat the storm. I noticed the RPMs went to 5400 and the speed 53 MPH (according to my GPS). I thought it ran...

Reading the old spark plugs with the visable electrodes is simple, but the plugs in my 150 Black Max spark plugs does not show the electrodes. How can you read these plugs to check if it is running too rich or too lean?

Checking the charging system to the cranking battery.How many volts should be going into the battery from a 150 Black Max at idle?

I was going to check the reading of my spark plugs and found they have no electro. Is much different in the plugs with or without electros?

Still working on the ranger. Everything seems to be working good except gas consumption. Ran down the river about 2 to 3 miles and it burned 4 gallons of gas. This is a 150 Black Max. Thinking the carbs needs to be reworked. I have rebuilt several automobile carbs. Would the 150 cards be much...
