    67 80 HP problems

    A safety switch would not allow any current to the starter. Watching the video again, the bendix does start to lift and engage, but then the grinding starts. Did the rebuilder check the whole mechanism, or just the armature, brushes, bearings? This is for a 65 90, but there shouldn't be too...

    Carb only sucks gas when choked by hand 1974 1150 TOP

    New Holley Marine Avenger how can I connect this to the Volvo 33C Throttle cable?

    Does you old Holley have something like this (arrow) on its throttle?.
