    Afternoon all, Its been a few months since I've started the motor. It starts right up when using the choke and idles fine at about 1300rpm. After about a few minutes it will drop down to 1000rpm or so. For some reason I remember dropping lower. Does 1000rpm at idle in neutral sound right...

    Now that the boat starts and somewhat runs after sitting for a year and a half. I pump up the bulb until it gets somewhat hard and then start the engine, I have to keep choking it with the key to keep it running or fast idle at the lever. I did spray a bunch of lube in the cylinders before...

    93' 175 GLET stator plug

    I need to replace the attached plug before my new stator/regulator from CDI goes in. The way I see it is this is part # 513664. Am I correct?

    1993 175 Fast Strike

    Good morning all, Went out on the boat yesterday and everything went just about fine. There is one little annoying thing that keeps showing its annoying head though. I thought because I messed with the fuel filter lines while replacing the filter I may have disturbed some junk or debris in...
