    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

    It is not a Filter. It is there to absorb the Heat from any Flame from a Backfire, to remove that a source of Ignition of any Gasoline Vapours in the Engine Compartment. That might be why they are not replaceable Media

    Welcome to iboats By "in place", do you mean swapping Powerheads, or unbolting the complete 115 and bolting on the 90?

    Go back 50 yrs and the Engine was running at WOT for Max Timing, but it would be fitted with a Test Wheel, instead of a Prop. I guess hooking a Dyno up, would allow WOT running to, but since the Timing can be checked-set at Cranking Speed, no need to. A lot of People on this site get very...

    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...

    Need thoughts from the car gurus

    I had one for 14 yrs, never had any issues with it, except for Timing Chain replacement because of the Combustion Products from the DI and Extended Oil Change Interval, but that was Warranty after 8 yrs of use. Never had to clean the Valves, though I figured they were coking up. I had bought a...

    There is one Aerosol from CRC that does a decent job, but it will set several CEL codes while doing so. Often though, the only way is to pull the Intake off and Walnut Husk Blast the Intake Valves

    Some engines makers have solved the Intake Valve Deposits by returning to regular Port Injection under many Operating Conditions, allowing Gasoline wash the intake Valve.
