    Anyone own a Chevy Venture Mini Van??

    I've always had trouble getting adequate heat outta this van. Mine has the rear heater-A/C as well. There have been a few TSB's about the lack of heat from the 'sister vans' (Montana etc) but trips back to the dealer were a waste of time. Chevy is now installing an add-on aux. coolant recirc...

    This can't be good......

    Well, I tore into this 84' Johnson 6HP this evening to R/R the water pump. Someone had done quite a bang-up job with the water pump housing, RTV'd the gaskets etc. Upon closer inspection of the drive shaft (powerhead end) I noticed the splines are chipped. The gearcase end is fine.<br /><br...

    Johnson Year---just checking----

    Just picked up a Johnson J6RCRM #E6002165. The older gent I bought it from told me it was a 1981. After a little research, it seems that it's really a 1984, or so I think. Can someone be so kind to verify that it IS a 1984?? I don't have resources to do a serial search.

    '73 6HP Rude --- Breathing Problems

    I could sure use some input on this one. My bro' in law picked up a 1973 6HP Rude long shaft. Put in the large tank and after a little choking it popped right off. Idle wasn't bad but the carb , and the whole motor was pretty dirty. I figured a good carb rebuild and impeller are in the near...

    What is a ballpark figure on the output voltage to the plugs for this little popper?? I've replaced cracked coils and installed new points and condensers. The magnets are strong. I wouldn't be asking if the info was in the service manual. <br /><br />Thanks in advance for any info.

    Quick Evinrude Question....

    What's a typical compression value for a 76' 4HP 'Rude?? It sure looks like the original rings as the powerhead still has the factory paint. I figured that it depends on the hours used, oil mix and load ect, but there's no real way to know the history of this little popper. What can I expect...
