    Vintage ID help

    I don’t usually care about vintage motors but this one has me stumped. The Model number on the block is : J0003200. There’s a serial number also: 406554 or 40655A. Short shaft, remote setup. What has me interested is the lower unit. It is the classic 2 piece and the lower half has a built in...

    2002 Yamaha F2.5--customer is coming in morning-please help

    I can't seem to get this thing to run right. It's smoking badly and throttle response is about none. From Idle to wide open, the RPMS only change about 2-300 higher. I've cleaned the carb twice to near spotless, and replaced the spark plug. It starts and idles perfect but the throttle doesn't...

    '95 Mariner 60--running on 2/3

    Just took the boat out for the first time since I've owned it. Idled fine but would bog severely when hitting the throttle. <br />Got the boat home and began to investigate. When running the boat with the hose hooked up, I'm fairly certain the bottom cylinder is not firing. I can take the...

    1995 Mariner 60 hp

    I'm looking to purchase the above mentioned. 3 cylinder, oil injected, T and T. It's a very clean motor with minimal hours, 50 hours maybe. Original owner has had the motor since new and I don't think he's trying to pull any thing past me.<br />Good, bad or average? <br />Thanks.<br />Dman

    Starcraft guru's

    Did Starcraft make a Tournament 160T in 1996? It's a fiberglass tiller boat. NADA.com shows they made one in 1995, but not 1996. Trying to figure out what year boat I'm actually looking at. Maybe the one I'm looking at is a 1995? I don't have any HIN right now.<br />Thanks<br />Dman

    Snowmobile Painting

    This is for the 'Up North' folks on the board. I inherited a Indy 400 and it needs a bit of repainting on the hood. It's got all the custom paint that I really don't like, plus the old numbers are painted on the hood. I will be registering in WI this year, so the old numbers have to go...
