    1987 Rochester quadrajet

    Esa is working as it should. What are recommended batteries you would use for this motor? I use the boat to fish and run a few elecrtronics as well. What class batteries and how many would you install?

    Batteries are at 12.6 and alternator at 14.6. New drive will come with fresh lube. And what about fuel pump, or gaskets ? None of those?

    What else should I look for before season starts? I have a 5.7 omc. Anything to rebuild? Replace? Re assemble? I’m up to do anything that will cause me to lose time during the season!

    I did a carb clean because the engine would shut off at low rpm, around 550rpm. And coming off high rpm( 4500) to low rpm, the engine would stumble. The carb was pretty dirty so I’m sure the carb was the issue. Also have a new drive coming in soon aswell!

    1987 Rochester quadrajet

    Hello! I’ve owned this boat for a little over 2 years now, first time I’ve attacked a carb clean on this quadra jet. Completed it in about 2 hours. Carb looks very clean. I just have one question. In the video the guy had 4 brass pipe fittings for the vacuum. I had only the 2 outside for the...

    1996 4 stroke Johnson 15hp

    Hey everyone, just picked up this motor for a awesome deal. Now, I’m wondering if this is a susuki Block because of the partnership between susuki and Johnson when they wanted to build 4 strokes. Also some tips and tricks with the motor would be awesome! Motor works great, compression of 160 on...

    1987 5.7 omc outdrive

    I’m very mechanically inclined so I can do work on my own. I think I’m gonna take apart upper end and clean it all. Then re assemble and buy a new lower end and slap it all back together and replace seals. Should I check gimbal ?

    1987 5.7 omc outdrive

    Ok so I got the boat out of the water, removed the outdrive and split it in 2. The top half is absolutely fine, could use new seals. The u-joint is also in very good condition. But in the other hand the bottom half is absolutely (edit, come on man) lol all the gear are blown, bearings are shot...

    1987 5.7 omc outdrive

    Hey Lou, so I found a complete volvo outdrive from 1981, would that work with my 1987 5.7 Omc engine ? Or I have a option to replace the 5.7 omc mount and outdrive to a mercruiser 260 with matching outdrive.
