    Husky 359 Chain saw and SYNTHETIC Oil

The cylinder and piston were scuffed bad, the needle bearing was coated w/carbon, as was the cylinder and bore. The ring was completely frozen in place. He put on a new cylinder and...

    I installed a new Materix17 today and wanted to put it in the same location of the old Eagle unit, but the cable was about 2 feet shorter than I would like. Can one find an extenstion (jumper) cable for the unit? Seems like they all have different plugin ends. I will try calling Humminbird...

    Humminbird Materix 17 depth finder "OPINION" ?

    I've got a Humminbird Materix 17 on order to replace my broken Eagle Seafinder 480DF. It looks to have everything I need/want and more and the price ($144) was definately right. I realize it is a discontinued model, but if it works for more than the 22 months that the Eagle gave, I will be very...

    Is Amsoil now NMMA TC-W3, or is it just the direct injection oil? I have read a lot of the "OIL WARS" articles and this seems to always come up. Is the below correct or is this just another AMSOIL salesman pushing his product. I don't use it, but just wondering. Here is a write up from the...

    Eagle SeaFinder 480DF trouble??

    My 1 1/2 year old Eagle is acting up real bad. It started alarming last week, then when you turn it off, it will automaticly come back on and will flash the back light on/off constantly. I really think it went bad about 2 months ago, as I had dead batteries on my boat and just unpluged...

    Oil Injection check valve, 1989 Merc 200 hp

    The check valve (?) for the engine oil tank is dripping TCW oil, really makes a mess, so I will order one tomorrow and try to get it changed. I stuck a pencil in it for the time being. The Mercury part # is 22-424252 and is listed as a fitting, I am assuming this is the check valve. Anyone know...

    HONDA outboards?

    Does anyone have any idea where you can buy a 15 hp Honda on the internet like the Nissan/Tohatsu?<br />THe reason I ask, I was at the Honda shop today and they want $2995.00 + 8.3% sales tax, which brings them in at $3250. That is quite a premium ($1000) for the motor.

    1989 Merc 200hp water pressure/poppit question

    I just installed a new temp sender and temp gauge and a water pressure gauge. Good news is that the temp gauge works great. Bad news, I think? Water pressure at idle to 2000 rpm is only running 4-6 LB pressure and is too low, good tell-tale stream. Running at 4000 rpm pressure is at 12# and 16#...
