    go to a welding shop for a custom one that fits, they can galvanize or as outlined cut a longer one and use the cold galvanizing rattle cans, will hold up pretty well

    Bellow condition??

    I had similar experince with my merc alpha gen 2 I changed them at 18 years as they were just stating to get real stiff. Never leaked. Use OEM bellows they last. since I planned to keep the boat no sense getting the last year or two out of them. If these ones last 15 years it’s someone else...

    2012 3.0L TKS runs great with muffs, but slow on lake...

    Yes I know you had spark , but when it wont run verify it again to determine why it went from running to not running. yes dribble some down the carb to see if adding gas changes things. Also as all dodge suggested look down carb bores when you shut it off to see if bowl is over flowing and...

What lube are you using Did yo check the from the bellhousing to the transom there is a 1/4" or so rubber hose. drive could be passing pressure test but getting mositure in that way. Is this contamination in the line...

    2012 3.0L TKS runs great with muffs, but slow on lake...

    I think when it doesnt restart take a spark gap tester see if you have spark if you do dribble some gas down the carb , if it restarts then you are missing gas. Just gotta figure out if its spark or fuel. Hard to tell form the keyboard but if yo have good spark and timing is right it should fire...

    2 Stroke Oil Thread

    That is about what I was running my old Evinrudes on. Almost zero smoke and very clean plugs. Had a 1975 15 hp , and a 1973 9.5 hp kicker. I looked it up again. It was in the 1980's that Evinrude labeled the 15 hp and possibly others for 100:1 for a short time and discovered they had issues...

    1979 Starcraft American Offshore 22’

    what is the powertrain in it OB or IO? if IO certainly look at the bellows. Both will need impellers replaced. If I recall older starcrafts would get cracks on the chine, may have been models earlier than yours. Also can leak at the rivets.

    alpha 1 gen 1 noise

    Split the halves to see if it can be isolated upper and lower - at this point you are into tearing it down to see what the issue is- most likely a bearing if the gears are ok. You cant get very far into the drive with out some merc specific tools , which is why folks generally get a SEI drive or...

    thinking of a Delco EST ignition system conversion but have a few concerns....

    If you can still get good sets of replacement points I wouldn’t spend the money for the delco. I filed and gapped a set of points this spring on a 1973 evinrude, runs like new now ( also rebuilt the carb). From the looks of them and the amount of rubbing block wear they are probably original...
