    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    Agreed go with the rebuild. Your pump is far better quality than what’s out there in the aftermarket stuff.

    Compression too high?

    Must be a different Jim The guy I head about apparently has an amazing used parts yard and mostly sells older rebuilt power heads. I did a quick google search but it turned up nothing.

    Compression too high?

    There you have it. I didn’t want to say it a get scolded. My skepticism is the advertised numbers are high and the seller would know this if they knew what they had. If I found numbers like that I would be looking to try another gauge to confirm and make an honest statement.

    Compression too high?

    I would be skeptical. Unless it’s a really great price that won’t hurt if it’s not up to par I would hold out for something you can put your hands on. Just me of course I don’t trust anyone any more. Best

    1981 50 HP 3 cylinder Mercury

    Funny you should say that. My buddy used to give me a hard time for storing all my parts in zip lock bags. He once put a few extra bolts in the bags to mess with my head and it worked. 😂

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    It is very sad. My heart go out to the families. I have heard domestic calls are some of the most dangerous to respond to as they often involve people with mental illness and you just never know what’s going to happen.

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    I live on island that has separate towns and each town has its own PD and a state barracks as well. They all train as a state academy. In my eyes it all comes down to how the cheif runs his dept and the hiring of stable level headed people.

    I’m lucky to have a great bunch cops in my town. The next town over not so much. It’s not a job for everyone that’s for sure.

    Evinrude wire colors

    You can find wire in many colors and sizes at auto parts, hardware and marine supply stores. If all else fails colored tape on the ends of wire can identify them.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Agreed it could go sideways in the blink of an eye. I my eyes everyone is entitled to their opinion without being judged by others. It’s simple to just agree to disagree and call it a day. Besides this horse was put down several post ago by the op. 😂 Best

    something new coming in electric OB

    That’s pretty kool Crosbyman. I love the 50’s and 60’s style of things. Especially the cars. They all look pretty much the same these days. This is a tough horse.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Me too! There is nothing like the sweet sound of a well tuned combustion engine. A buddy of mine has one of the big trucks with a twin turbo diesel. It’s fun to hear them whined up sometimes but it gets annoying after awhile.

    something new coming in electric OB

    I grew up in Sarasota. I can’t say I miss it. It s not the same as it was in the 70’s but I guess that applies to everywhere. It sure was nice back then though.

    something new coming in electric OB

    Here’s what they look like when they decide to catch fire. It remains unknown why it started in the first place. No one was on board at the time.
