    Update: I worked on mocking up the sundeck sections and got them well coated in the OTF. I will make the access holes larger and more radiused. I am also going to put a u channel around the access holes for a cleaner look. Questions: If I am going to glass over the OTF treated wood, do I still...

    In this picture no, but I pulled them and soaked in old timer's formula and left in the sun. I did 3 rounds.

    I just realized they are not visible in the pictures but I have strategic cutouts on the side panels to work on the engine. I will give a second look to make sure they are big enough.

    Thanks, I would appreciate a look at your seat bases. If possible could you measure the pole. I was considering cutting the springs off the ones I have but I suspect the pole is shorter on the pre-made. No nearby Chappie dealer.

    Quadrajet Replacement Options

    I was able to solve the problem. It came to cleaning and reassembling the seat and needle and then bench testing per Cliff's instructions.

    Regarding the too high fuel pressure...is it common for the fuel pressure to be fine and then it isn't and goes higher? This engine has a mechanical fuel pump. I assume when they go they drop pressure but that is based on nothing.

    Quadrajet Replacement Options

    Update Time: I got the rebuild kit from Cliff's and put the rebuilt carb on the engine. There is an issue I have never had or seen before. There is gas coming up the up the accelerator pump shaft and additional fuel coming out near the secondary rods. Obviously something is not correct but...

    I am at the point of rebuilding my old boats interior. Pics to come soon. I am removing the doghouse and reading with a sundeck similar to the 1989 SeaRay 160 Super Sport models. Before the new seat layout goes in I want opinions on carpet and flooring. I want the flooring to be EVA foam but I...
