    Lake depth and how shallow can you run?

    Charts are good for Rock Piles/Ridges, not so much for Sandbars as they tend to shift

    Where to find flame arrestors

    A lot of OEM types were Riveted, they also look like a bunch of Stacked Fins. Others like Holley do use a Mesh.

    Where to find flame arrestors

    Johnson 60ESL70B component

    For the first 75-80% of the Throttle Lever, and all of the Warm Up Lever, all that is changing is the Spark Timing. Is it firing on all Cylinders?

    Help! I need to know what I got!!! Lol

    I think the Old 455 was over rated as being a good Engine for a Jet Drive. Jets like RPMs and the Old is a little Lethargic, at high Rpm, even in its higher performance versions. A Buick 455 would have been a better choice, but for some reason the OIds got the nod. Maybe because it was used as...

    I cant get this throttle set up properly. Please advise.

    Strictly controlled by the Linkage, and eventually by the Cable. Forget the Cable for now. Disconnect it. You have to get the Motor set up properly again. And since you messed with pretty much every adjustment, it will take a complete Link and Sync. The correct Service manual would certainly...
