    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    Thanks; a lot to digest! No rust trails, high risers, anti-syphon check valves are connected, Runs at 170 F; does cool to around 100 during trolling at 1.5 mph. I probably troll the incoming tides for about 4 hours on average, then a 5 minute run back to the harbor at about 15-20 MPH max...

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    Raw water cooled; mostly in the ocean. I installed new manifolds/ risers last year. Just retightened the loose bolts (a few were below spec torque). Riser temperatures have been great. Replaced them last year, as they were clogged and overheating. Carbed engine. Starts right up. Plugs looked...

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    This is the report. I'm hoping it is because I sucked up from the bottom of the oil pan. Yes, a compression check is probably in the near future. It had sat in the driveway here on the Monterey Bay all the mild winter, and I had to spray a carb fuel injection cleaner to get 'er going before...

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    I rechecked the riser bolts tightness and a few were just below the minimum recommended torque. I had replaced the manifolds and risers last year and never rechecked the bolts, as apparently required. Tightened those up. New tubing for the extractor is on my list now. Why the Blackstone dislike?

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    I may try a moly additive to flush and hopefully reduce the rusting at the next oil change.

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    At least I hope it is a poor sample due to my procedure! My '03 4.3 oil analysis came back with very high iron content; 117, with the universal average being 25. Some of the others were somewhat elevated, too; but the iron stood out the most. Could this be because the suction hose was all the...

    Riser Removal w/ Remote Oil Filter Attached

    That's good to hear. I had heard that the hose connections' crimps were a weak spot.

    Riser Removal w/ Remote Oil Filter Attached

    My 4.3GL port riser needs to be inspected, and has the remote oil filter bracket attached to the two front riser bolts. What is the procedure for taking that off the riser, without damage so it is not just flopping around there and maybe cause a difficult oil line leak repair?

    Kill Cord does not operate properly (not electtical)

    Is it attached incorrectly to the t shaped tab that releases the button? Hard to see; but, maybe relocate the lanyard that is now on the lower part of that 't' shaped release, to the upper part of the ''t'. Edit: Upon closer inspection; never mind, it looks like a bad design as said by others here.

    Cobra SX outdrive winterizing

    My 4.3GL SX-m does not. Another model may have a drain on the port side of the drive, near the water intake. Volvo Penta Manual
