    Hello, Just picked up a 1991 SeaSwirl, Cuddy, with what appears to be a 4.3 L V6, and a OMC Cobra stern. Went to go turn the engine over by hand after removing all the belts, just to see and it moves a little, but seems to be binding. I checked it was in Neutral, the prop spins freely, I put...

    AQ225 idles good, dies with some throttle

    Hello all, I have a 1986 AQ225D, with a quadrajet I just purchased re-manufactured off ebay. I just replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, starter, and alternator. I have set the timing to 8* and triple checked it multiple times. It starts and idles great! But if I give it any gas, it falls...
