    After getting this motor to fire up I can only keep it running by setting on fast or by keep pushing choke button. I dissasembled carb and cleaned but did not remove welch plug.

    How can I fix leaking fuel tank on my wizard / mac 3.6?

    I am close to getting this motor running and have a leak on the tank bottom above the petcock. It is not the threads but the bushing it threads into. I was going to use seal-all, but have found that sometimes it works and sometimes not. having it brazed would probably be best. could it be...

    Took my montgomery ward/ clinton out today and was not impressed

    The previous owner told me it wouldn't get his small boat on plane. Course I thought no biggie, probably just not tuned right or something. After cleaning and setting points it sounded real good and really reved up, like a chainsaw. I had a 10 to 13 mph wind and was not sure if I wanted to try...

    How big of outboard can I put on 12' appleby jon boat.

    Recently aquired old 1962 appleby, these were the predecessors to the lowes. lightweight boat. Anyone think a 12 hp buccaneer would be too big. I weigh in at something over 200lbs, maybe 210. maybe counter weight with cooler full of beverage.

    Finished my 1973 montgomery ward, sea king, clinton 5hp

    The navy blue rustoleum was close as I could find, but looks good. Picked it up at a yard sale for $35.00, cleaned and set the points, new plug, adjusted the carb a little. Going to wait till the paint cures a little more then take it to the river. Runs great. Now I have my eye on a 12 hp...

It's gonna cost you, things like that. I've joined other forums about cars and motocycles and have found that some...
