    Lag Bolt Hole Striped (Engine Mount To Hull)

    Just keep in mind that the epoxy is super hard when cured and may be impossible to thread a lag bolt into. You may actually snap the lag bolt in the hole greatly complicating things. This was the reason a dowel rod was suggested. You may be able to use a hack saw and cut across the threads on...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    It looks very nice. Just a bit of a learning curve trying to navigate for now. I haven’t tried to post any pictures yet, but it works well otherwise with my iPhone.

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    So to answer some of your questions in order- 1.It may make things easier to drill and fill before the wood is mounted since it’s laying flat. Thickened resin will wreck a jigsaw blade, so cut the keyhole first. 2. Yes, but no need to use 1708. CSM is fine. 3. layer of CSM on the wood if poly...

    The great thing about boats, there’s always something to do. You’ll never be 100% done!!!

    81 Sea Squirt Restoration

    Are the sidewalls you’re mentioning part of the cap of the boat? Normally it is and would require removing the cap. If you can do all the work without removing the cap it would be much better in the long run. Just my opinion.

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Got the OEM Quadra-Jet bolted back onto the manifold and hooked up. Took a bit of cranking to fill the bowl, but once fuel was there, she fired right up. So far on muffs the engine idles perfect, and there is absolutely no hesitation or stumble in any throttle range. I can watch the secondary...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Install all the linkages previously disconnected. Attach the choke rod to the choke door linkage and install the clip. Install the rod connecting the pull-off valve to the secondary air door. Put the rod through the stem of the pull-off first, then into the air door linkage by slowly...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Place the secondary rods onto the hanger and install the hanger onto the steel cam. Secure with the single screw in the center of the hanger. Once attached, turn the air door linkage a few times to ensure there’s no binding. The doors should open and return smoothly. There are numerous...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    That 3M VHB Tape is really good stuff, and based on the price......3M is aware how good it is. I like the video and actually never really thought of doing it that way. I use it at work a good bit, and seems most cars have body panels installed, or at least ground effects, with it. I wonder if...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Since the vacuum pump is already out, the choke pull-off should also be tested. If you find the choke pull-off to be defective, it’s imperative you get the right one to replace it. Don’t just buy a generic pull-off. Find a reputable company that will match the pull-off to your application...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Now that we’ve gotten the three main parts of the carburetor bolted back together we are at a point where it’s a good idea to ensure the needle and seat in the fuel valve are working properly. This was a step I learned in the Cliff Ruggles book, and honestly never have performed, even though in...

    Chaparral 2000 SL Sport floor, and more?? [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    As I am updating the Quadrajet thread I decided to fix a problem I created when I was restoring the boat. This summer We got surprised by a torrential downpour. I have never had my bilge pump kick on in auto until this trip. The rain water almost completely filled the storage areas I created...

    1986 Brougham Bridger Yukon Delta Fishing boat renovation

    My motor mounting platform toward the rear of the engine has a notch for the starter to clear. The mount runs and ties into the transom for more strength, but has a step in it for clearance. I wouldn’t be too worried about the alternator bracket at this point either since the motor will most...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Next step we prepare to install the air horn onto the main body. Insert the accelerator pump return spring into the pump bore. Connect the air door linkage to the arm in the main body. It’s usually necessary to rotate the arm to its highest position, then slide the linkage into the hole...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Now that the main body or base is built, we can put the air horn back together. It is highly recommended to install a new secondary cam during a rebuild. These plastic cams can be worn from years of use causing poor performance. The cam raises the secondary rods as the secondary air doors...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Install a new plastic retainer on the power piston. A rebuild kit should come with this seal. Check the rod hangers on the top of the power piston to ensure they are straight, and carefully bend if necessary. The hanger arms should be even. Place the primary metering rods on the hanger. Insert...

    Rochester Quadrajet Rebuild and Adjustments

    Install the float valve, (fuel inlet valve) seat next. Make sure the old seat gasket was removed during the tear down. Install the new seat gasket, then install the seat. Tighten firmly with a screw driver that will not damage the brass. As a note, the rebuild kit from Cliff’s Performance...
