Hello all, figured I would make an intro here since I will be here most.
I bought a '72 Glastron Carlon CV16 over the winter and have got her running. Still working out a bunch of bugs.
Right now I've got oil in the bilge. There is no obvious source of leakage as far as I can tell, most of it looks like it came from the dipstick tube. That makes me think the crankcase breather system might be clogged. There is no PCV valve that I can see (or is there?) Is the oil cap a breather?
Some motor history:
rebuilt 2 years ago w/ receipts
rebuilt Solex carbs w/ receipts
good compression on all four cylinders (155 PSI)
new NGK B7HS plugs gapped at .028"
just changed oil and filter
Other bugs:
bogging down at WOT (fuel contaminants found in filters, need to pull tank)
milkshake in outdrive
leaking oil from bellows - milkshakey oil
drip from water pump housing
drip from copper cooling lines
Boat:
Motor:
