    1978 Chrysler 85HP Powerhead Swap

    Topgun sometimes it is hard to find out why one cylinder went out. But as you say lean mixture is a good spot. Clean the carbs and set the air fuel mixture screw at about 1 1/4 turn out. Set the timing at 30 dgr at WOT. Use good TCW-3 two stroke oil and do not run the hell out of the engine...

    Pimping my Chrysler 65hp, thoughts and ideas

    Nice work, looks great. Is the decals from the factory brochure 1979 model? I think I have seen the tiger in that year, but can be wrong. Looks really nice.

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Las, I have not checked for any resistance on the shift shaft yet. Will try tonight. The different in throw from reverse to forward depending on how far the shift rod is out from bottom can be a measurement error from my side. I noticed that when the dogs at gear and clutch dog are align perfect...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Las I pulled the spare LU apart tonight and I will update the measurement. The height of the dogs in both gears and the clutch are 4 mm (0,16 in). The fully throw from reverse and forward is 12,4 mm (0,49 in) with the shift rod turn all way down in the shift arm and 12,7 mm (0.50 in) with the...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    I have not order a new thrust washer "spacer" yet, if it is that what you mean. I have to disassemble and measure the one that is in it now. I have about 1 mm end play now and the service manual calls for about 0,20 mm.

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Las I will check it soon, I am in order to disassemble the spare LU cause of the incorrect prop shaft end play. Maybe in this weekend. Then I have to correct myself about the height of the dog in the gear. It is 4 mm (0,16 in) not 2 mm (0,08 in) as I said before. Sorry! The throw at the shift...

    75 HP Canadian Chrysler Outboard

    The pic of the id plate has a flash so it is hard to se if there are four or five digits in the model number. It should be five digits, I think. However, from the pics of the hood and the design, color etc it is a 1967 or 1968 year model. Franz Marine should be your source for seals and other...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Las your measure of the total throw from reverse to forward and vice versa seams pretty right. I have measure my spare LU and have roughly 12 mm measuring with a folding rule. From my experience when I changed LU on my sons 65Hp the throw from when the clutch dog starts to engage the gear and...

    1987 force 125 cooling lowdown

    How high was the water lever in the tank? You need to have water up to and especially over the impeller housing. The water pump is not self priming, so you will not get a good water flow if the water lever is to low.

    Pimping my Chrysler 65hp, thoughts and ideas

    Las, nice work, looks really good. But I am then one who likes old stuff in original shape. Love to keep things as they where made and in good working conditions. I am a kind of collector of old things (cars, outboards, boats, motorcycles, mopeds etc.). In this world when we do not repair things...

    Low Compression on Cylinder #2

    As pnwboat says and your choice in my opinion are first #2 then #3. From the video only a change of the piston will not help you enough. Score in the cylinder wall and you have to bore. Only hone it will not rise the compression enough to make it run decent. With too much different in the...

    Rectifier-regulator 4 wire, can I use a 5 or 6 wire???

    As the rectifire/regulator contains a diod bridge (1, or 3 phase) and 1, or 2 zener diods it is hard to measure resistance to check if it is bad or not. It is depending on which test lead you connect to which terminal at the rectifire/regulator. The diod brigde rectifies the AC current into DC...

    105 water pump

    topgun3690 as I am in Sweden Europe I do not know if the brand I use is available in other part of the world. For the impeller housing there is no special requirement for temperature etc. There is brand Belzona 1111 for industrial use that you can repair engine blocks such cracks in water...

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    Stephenca118 the pin is not a shear pin. It is a drive pin, because the hub has a rubber bushing pressed inside the prop. Chrysler started with this construction in mid 60.s. The end play of the prop shaft should be 0,01 in plus/minus 0,001 in.

    New issue on the 105 water pump. Gearcase issue.

    That prop does not look like the OEM. Looked at one of my 75Hp with 2 piece LU in the garage and the prop should not go over the smaller edge of the casting at the bearing carrier (pic 3). The prop has a small gap to the bearing carrier. As jerryjerry says no washers or spacers on these units...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    I have no reverse gears at the shelf only in my spare gear case. Maybe I will pull my old spare LU apart this weekend because I have to check the drive shaft/pinion lash (shiming pinion) and the prop shaft end play is to large. If there is no other more importent thing to do. I did not checked...

    Chrysler 65hp clutch dog problem

    Looks like there is no bronze bushing in the reverse gear. I did not notice that when I pull my LU apart. If you have miss it the prop shaft should have wiggle a lot.

    105 water pump

    The F438065 or F438065-1 is for sure the one with 3/4 in tall vanes. F523065 should be the one with 1 in tall vanes. From the pic of your boat and engine it looks like the engine is a 1970 or 1969. Does the id tag says 1970? 1966-73 105Hp calls for the 1 in tall impeller and 1974-76 for the 3/4...
