    1987 150 carb jet plugs broke off in bowl. best way to remove??

    Ok guys , I have broken off 1 plug in each of my 3 carb bowls. they are brass and I assume I could drill and tap, but I do not want to damage the threads because these bowls are NLA. Before I got drilling, I figured I would check with the pros and make sure I am going in the right direction.

    Re: 1994 60 degree 150 HP, only getting about 100-110 HP. cannot find the problem. I did not know that Clanton, I did put each piston back in the hole it came out of, but I did not know there was a difference. so it may be possible the previous owner swapped some pistons around when he...

    Re: 60 degree looper150 HP rebuild thread yes it fell out when I removed the crank shaft cover. I got the rod bolts all out. How important is it that I keep the rod caps and bearings all separate so that I do not mix them up? I just saw 020 on piston number 5, that is the new one. now I know...
