    I have a curiosity question. I had bought a rebuilt carburetor when I was working on getting the engine running couple of years ago when I first acquired the boat but what in the world would cause this?

    Carburetor Experiment

    I'm going to try an experiment. Since carburetors are expensive for the 2.3 and it's a gamble on reconditioned ones I'm going to try cleaning the old one. I've done alot of reading and video watching and have decided to use muratic acid. I've tried soaking and scrubbing using various cleaners...

    Replacement Cables

    Hi all, I have an 88 capri 1750 BR and wanted to ask if anyone would know replacement cable part numbers for the throttle and front shift.

    Engine idle RPM

    Hi all just a quick question I hope. In reading some of the articles about setting the idle speed I have seen a couple people mentioning about the speed going lower once in the water compared to being on muffs. Is there a rough estimate on the change of rpm's?

    Internal Restive Coil

    Hi all, After reading another thread I wanted to ask if I went to an internal restive coil would that eliminate the need for a ballast or resistor wire that my 88 Capri 2.3 had. The restive wire is partially missing and if I'm not mistaken they had specific lengths. Thanks 😊

    I have an 88 OMC 2.3 and have heard about this oil additive. My engine has unknown hours and wondered if this would be something that would be good to use on an old engine. Thanks, Jim

    2.3 litre exhaust flapper

    I was doing some reading and noticed that I should have one of these. I brought the exhaust pipe to the bench and noticed all that is there is the shaft.

    88 Capri stringer question
