67 srv17 is running, It gets wet today

[red85k100rs]

I spent ? day Thursday getting the old boat running,
and ? day yesterday getting it running good. I had to put a coil on and a condenser. She purrs like a kitten now.

My manifold is leaking but I am going to replace that soon. It had been repaired with jb-weld. I am going to get a new bilge pump today.
Then I can start to clean the old girl up.

From the looks of the pic you may have a hard time getting her wet till you knock a hole in the ice!!!! Good luck

Manual say 3900 - 4300

I still have to do a good tune up, I just wated to hear it run, go in and out of gears, and float without taking on water, before I start spending $$$

So now I am off to get a couple sets of points (one set for a spare), some new plugs, a new fuel filter, I already put a new coil on along with a condenser. The cap, wires and rotor look good.
All the fluids were done when it was winterized.

What am I forgeting?

yep, wot spec for a 110-120 is 3900-4300. i just went and looked at s/m #1. the 140 would be 4200-4600.

fwiw, when i got my boat, i was seeing 3900 too. had me a 21p prop onto it. put me a 19p on it and now see 4300...

ya wanna see the high end of wot spec with your normal load. so your luggin just a bit. maybe the tune up will cure ya.

sounds like a tune up plan to me.. don't forget to set dwell, then time it..
