There are some solid state regulators for vintage external ford applications that would work. Their pin out is on the connector usually. Solid state is very important as if it’s not, it uses a few sets of points which would be a source of ignition
You could have an exhaust housing adapter made and extend the drive shaft but the lower won’t take it. If you are planning on using a 40hp lower then you are swapping the mid too. So Just have 30hp decals made for a 40.
Hit a rock with any outboard and your going to do some damage. My Zuki came with a set of tools and it takes 5w30 synthetic automotive oil. Facts are Etec was 2 strokes last straw. And this whole thing has nothing to do with the original question.
I don't think oil changes is a valid comparison since a 2 stroke burns it's oil. An E tec has oil metering as well as fuel injection making it more complex in a small margin. But people don't even realize that a fuel injected outboard often has a chamber where the high pressure fuel pump is...
My 1966 StarCraft has the same anchor light. So my guess is it's a Perko light that is probably still available. Most of their stuff can still be had. But also the anchor light height on that boat will be grandfathered.. this is right up the same alley as seat belts, turn signals and really...
Rotella has not had a high zinc content in years. However it's good oil. I can't remember the brand but there is a cheap over the counter zddp additive that you can get at advance auto.. It night have been bars or risolene brand I don't remember it brings any oil up to at least 1,200 ppm which...
The one downfall of the 4 stroke is going to be weight. When I bought my 25hp Suzuki it was the lightest 25hp sold. But it was within 10lbs of the old 40hp... And I know since I have one, it's about 100lbs heavier than a johnnyrude 20,25,30,35 twin
I had a 40hp Johnson super seahorse ( big twin ). I opted to downgrade to a Suzuki DF25A. It is a decision I do not regret. Its quiet. Starts quick. Not that the big twin started hard. But it's just smoother and more enjoyable. Not much speed if any really was lost. It doesn't launch as hard.I...
You can get repair sockets easy. Then use a led bulb for that. However go through the perko catalog. I found the exact replacement navigation light for my old StarCraft except it's led. Bolted in original holes and gasket was identical as well as housing
