    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    Timing is easy for your motor. Mark the crankshaft balancer with white grease marker if needed so it can be seen better. Do not have to, sometimes it makes it easier to see. Slightly loosen the distributor just enough so it can be rotated. The motor needs to be warmed up and idling at the...

    5.0GL - No Power at Coil

    The coil needs 12V when starting and running. Getting only 8V at the connector means there is corrosion and could be on both sides of the connector. You could run 12V from the Bat without an issue While lower voltage can cause the hesitation, there would also be an issue at WOT. Your issue...

    what went wrong with my outdrive?

    Only way to know is repaint. Then with boat back at the dock plugged in for at least 24 hours and measure the output voltage with the correct probe. Right now it does look like a bad paint job. Next season watch the drive to see if it starts again

    High Performance Gear Lube Color - Bravo 3

Some run so high that half the prop is out of the water (surface drive) The B3 runs hotter then others for a couple reasons. More gearing inside the case and are used mostly on...

    GPS Location APP

    Figure if there isn't a simple app to get them close, then I'll talk to the Sheriff to find out if dispatch knows how to bring up google maps. If they get close EMS talking to Air flight will work

    GPS Location APP

    Question comes from what really happened. Ambulance is at the scene and has called for a Air Flight. Gives address of location to dispatch. Dispatch relays address to air ambulance but control nor air crew knows exactly where that is. So they give GPS coordinates to local hospital. I'm...
