Our 83 Doral Colt with thr e-rude 90 is running down Ahmic lake again. We have put 5 tanks of gas through her already.....60 liters in a tank. 42.6 mph on gps with the NGK plugs, 700 rpm idle. and the refit oil pump works perfect... very easy install...been 2 years since I posted. Barbara my partner had colon cancer jan 2010, then after healed, 6 months of chemo. no sleding down the lake that winter and no summer. then last x-mass eve I had a stroke. no sledding last winter. getting better . I can drive car and boat, starting to ride dirt bike again. we have hidden at the cottage all summer healing , and enjoing the old doral. the damn thing keeps working great. Don't know about the new Dorals, but the old ones are great. pitch the old champion plugs an get NGK I even use them in a 302 ford bored and stroked to 347 with 3x2s....sorry for the spelling, but getting there....thank god for caniadian health care......saved both our lives..........cheers....phil

Hi Phil, sorry to hear about all your issues but glad things are getting better for you both. Tell me more about the re-fit oil pump ??? Hope the NGK's work out for you. I personally have no trust in them. Buddy of mine burned some holes in his pistons with the ones he tried and I am just a stickler for using the recommended plugs in all my stuff.
Great to see you out here again.
Ken.

Bombi makes a oil pump retro fit for he old vro pumps, kit has a new 50 to 1 pump and all the bits you need. Great instructions and even new hose clamps. it is a one beer job, runs at 50 to 1 all the time, lets me keep my built in oil tank. very nice
