    Prop, or Engine Issue?

    Hi all, I have never had a tach on my boat until recently and have found that rpm at WoT is low for my motor (is: 4800 should be: 5200). I wanted to consult here to see if anyone thinks my prop is causing this issue or if I need to be looking at the powerhead. I was wanting to get another prop...

    Towed some Folk

    Went out boating this past Saturday by myself to do some on water carb tuning trying to get my engine running right (low rpm at wot issue) and also just to waste a day where I’d normally probably be sitting around on my phone. Better to do nothing in particular out on the water than on the couch...

    Starflite 3 75hp starter issues

    I’m having some troubles with my Non running starflite 3 with electric start. When I test the starter off the engine with 12 volts from a marine battery it spins fine and is also able to engage the bendix. However when I have the starter mounted on the engine using the boat’s ignition system...

    Starflite 3 fuel pump and other hose routing.

    Evening everyone! I’m a newbie here trying to wrap my head around this old outboard that came on the back of my glaspar. I tore apart the carburetor recently and ultrasonic cleaned everything. I’m getting the carb and fuel filter back on as well as replacing all the hoses but have now realized I...
