    Excessive Oil/Grease by Alternator area.

    My old 3.0 had an oil leak from the front seal as well. Was not a bad leak, about 1 qt. thru the season. I bought a case of motor oil absorbing diapers to lay in the bilge. They absorbed all the oil so it did not get discharged into water from the bilge pump. Actually worked great and far...

    Excessive Oil/Grease by Alternator area.

    If you monitor your engine line or you should, it should not be over by a quart unless something is leaking into the pan. Also makes a big difference in the angle your boat sits when checking the oil. I checked the angle on my boats floor when sitting in the water then duplicate that angle...

    Low speed jet adjustment

    If the plugs are black then your running rich....could be weak spark, have you done a gap check for the spark ? Needs to be able to jump a 3/16" gap ! All carbs need to be synced together before making adjustments. Owned one of those motors, once properly setup and adjusted, it idled all day...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Time USB claims a much higher charge rate up to 2c can be used but will shorten overall life of the battery. Their recommendations are used for longest life span. All my communications with them have come directly from China according to their addresses. They have responded quickly to all my...

    20p6 Merc 6hp 4 stroke--runs on half choke, revs up and stalls

    Just cleaning the carb may not remove gunk from those teeny tiny passages, use a wire or blow air thru to be sure they are open. If it did run well in the recent past, but doesn't now....you have a blockage somewhere.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    That is why I bought the charger Time USB recomended, it has the wakeup mode. When folks are spending big money on these batteries why scrimp on a charger that is known to work correctly. One thing I gave learned in my 15 plus years of Lipo battery experience, don't cut corners if you want...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Been around lipo batteries for well over 15 years and all function far better when dropped down to a storage level of charge. Those that have been stored at near full charge have had much shorter life spans or decreased run times. No big deal to discharge them to storage charge. With my...
