    Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

    Not Joe Reeves or an electrical buff ,but open reading or infinity reading between the two yellow wires would indicate an open winding which is bad.Ohm reading between the two yellow leads disconnected from the terminal block should be between 450-600 range.<br /><br />Not sure whether you are...

    1988 90 HP Johnson shutting off

    Check the condition of the lanyard kill switch rubber cap over the button on the throttle controls just below the ignition switch.This is assuming you have 88' OMC control box.The rubber sometimes stretches out and will cause intermittent ignition failure.I'm pretty sure the 88' controls had the...

    Who shaves in the shower

    I do.Don't know why,but been doing it for years.Even got a little mirror in there to keep me from slitting my throat.Dumb question I know.Just wondering.Only wish that colgate shaving cream made a can that didn't rust so easy.I keep it in a coozie to cut down on stains. :)

Navy ,merchant ship,or otherwise. <br /><br />Biggest I've ever...

    Just turned the computer on only to be terrified by the gaping mouth of Rosie O'Donnel which appeared somewhat like an attacking Rhino blathering something in defense of her failing magazine deal or something.I don't see why she(it) doesn't just take her millions and not go away somewhere...
