89 Donzi ragazza
OMC 5.7
Cobra outdrive
Got this boat last year for 3k. Hull was in great shape, owner had bought a new boat and was done with trying to fix this one. Apparently the motor was rebuilt in 17' and had roughly 100 hours on it since the rebuild. I compression checked it and the...
Just installed a Delco est and cannot got the boat to start. Is there a specific starting point to start the plug wires into the distributor from? All I got for instructions was how to wire up the tach, and ignition
Not sure if this is related or not, but almost immediately after installing a pertronix electronic ignition on my 89 3.0 140 with alpha 1 outdrive my tilt trim stopped working. If I jump either the up or down solenoid to the battery the motor works and I am able to use the switch again. I have...
