    Anybody familiar with these "Spindo" repair sleeves?

    i would think the oring needs to hold the sleeve tight to the spindle and make a grease seal. if it is a 1/4" off would seem either the spindle is severely worn or this kit doesnt fit your spindle. Cant imagine the sleeve turning with the seal as the oring under it would wear out quickly and leak

    1981 MerCruiser 120 tick/ squeak

    Agree with the above take the valve cover off and take a look first. May have a loose rocker that can be adjusted. When you change it -Would also be looking in the oil and filter to see if there is metal indicative of a flat cam lobe.

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

    I ended up doing the same thing to my friends boat this summer (2000 or 2001 Glastron 185). He had water in the gas went to take off the AS valve and it snapped the same way. Who ever put the AS valve on at the factory over tightened it. I think they end up stretching the fitting when it is...

    yes or you are picking up spark scatter from the plug wires or cap despite their age. Often times when you run the wires parallel to each other you can get spark jumping wires. separate them and see if it goes away. You didn't say you were having runnability issues so this may be an...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Was thinking maybe they were for access to accessories or starter , which is opposite where the step downs were… if your fuel filter is bottom left as you face the engine might be close ??

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

    I wouldn't mess around with a sticking cable that wont allow it to return to idle. This is especially true for an alpha drive that requires a shift interrupt to get out of gear, and may not work at higher rpm. Hard to say if the cable needs adjustment or replacement
