    Starting fluid alternative

    Because of its lack of lubricity, the use of starting fluid is strongly discouraged. Recommended is the use of fuel/oil mixture in a spray bottle. Finding a spray bottle compatible with fuel is a problem. The several plastic bottles I have tried leak all over the place and some collapse. Any...

    1971 9.5 HP Johnson Connecting Rod Failure

    Part of top piston connecting rod and cap blasted through the cast aluminum crankcase housing after motoring at WOT for about 20 minutes.
