    Fuel guage selection???. some just show full, 1/2 and empty, some are variable

    Where do I start to decide what to get. No posts, no stickies, etc found readily available. I got a variable fuel sender with the puck that floats up and down. I turned it on and it read as expected. I got on the water at the dock and looked at it longer than 5 seconds and it bounced a lot as...

    In-Line fuel filter under cowling needed with a seperator? Why is there air in there.

    Why not put the in-line filter above the separator to collect large particle to save my brand new $87 Acor filter a little more life? After the primer bulb in the engine would collect line/hose breakdown but I changed to all new line for ethanol so I should be good. Plus it's a major pain to...

    1990 150 TXESB Modlel I believe What is the trim switch mounted on the inside body of the motor just above the T&T (TILT AND TRIM). I rebuilt my T&T and the trim switch got messed up and moves freely now. I just pushed it back when testing the rebuilt T&T. My manual gives a paragraph on how to...

    power pack, coils, or ??????

    Can a power pack be intermittent on just two cylinders or did two coils go bad fouling just two plugs? If I change them it runs great and some time later I loose RPM.
