Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I'm no xspurt . but from experience it sounds to me like the timing is retarded by a few degrees .
forget the timing light > advance the timing by small increments till you get a slight ping under acceleration from a full stop , once you get the pinging , retard the dizzy back to the last...
? why do you need to be towing that amount of weight @65 + mph , your " car" is not built to do that even although it will pull the weight it is not meant to be doing it @65 + on the highway.
that's a heavy load for a car so its only natural to have problems as you drive faster.
its getting to be a common thing where company's take and order , collect payment up front , then leave you hanging whilst they order it from china.
its called "drop shipping " .
several times in the past months i have bought items from company's (not online)and i have been told 2 weeks from the...
yes and no ,
rollers can cause indents in a hull if the rollers are not correctly placed to even the load .
also if the roller set is placed where there are weak areas in the hull , like for instance between stringers you will be sure to get some abnormality's in the hull over time.
a properly...
the 5.0 is a good motor , a couple of things i like about them is:
#1, they are robust , in stock form they don't make enough power to hurt themselves
#2 , i have seen a few making big power and almost bullet proof with only bolt on performance bits and a properly dialled camshaft.
a 5.0 can...
you should be fine , i am with jimmbo on the gear ratio change as a prop change is sufficient to change the RPM up the top and load when under acceleration ,
iv hotted up many outboards and never yet have i changed a gearbox ratio to get the performance figures i have aimed for. just a prop...
my sevlor is going on 15 years , we leave it pumped up most of the summer seasons when it gets used , when not in use its stored inside rolled up in a sleeve bag. some yeas it does not come out at all .
a couple of the handle straps are frayed other than that some ware and tare on the decals its...
some motors have different poppet valves, thermostats and water flow , for example , my 4 stroke Yamaha takes 10 seconds or more to start pissing water with a new pump .
you should be going by the strength of the flow once water flows rather than how long it takes to initially start to pee..
you need to figure out why the engine got that hot and stayed hot long enough to smoke the motor component's so badly..? was the foam wrapped around the front of the lower gearbox blocking the water intake holes.
i am surprised there is not water in the oil from that overheat on a SB chev, so...
i just found 67246 , whether that helps to get the correct cover .
OP , pm me if you cant find local and we may be able to organize to get this one to you.
in short , no , that is if the motor has recently been in the water or running with water on the muffs.
on a dry motor , yes , it will chew the water pump impeller in no time, the water lubes the impeller and they cook real quick when dry.
i could not honestly answer that ,possibly yes? the 200 was later , mine was defiantly a 150 .
as another poster said , the transom mountings changed ," from memory "this motor is the first with the updated transom bolt pattern that conformed with other manufactures and it had the trim assembly...
