    Advice on mounting spotlight

    I would do it like Grub mentioned and use air with a string. Drill one hole either under the rail in about the area shown, then have it come out at the end of the rail. Move the rail to one side and drill a hole next to the helm, seal it good and reinstall the rail.

    2000 7.4l MEP intermittent alarm

    Sorry it's taking me so long to get back with, been out of town. Code 44 means the ECM is not detecting the knock sensor. It does this one time with each restart of the motor. When you first start throttling up it retards the timing until it senses a knock from the sensor. If no knock is sensed...

    71 Johnson battery wiring question.

    Hope a Johnson guy will come along and advise, but others use a terminal block and they are attached color for color. The cable your holding is what goes to the throttle start/control circuit. Here is an old Chrysler

    OMC Cobra/ford 302 - slave/assist solenoid issue?

    Howdy The below pic shows a Merc but pay no attention to that. If all the wires are off the starter, and you are connecting the battery cable to the top large terminal (Red cable shown) and the starter runs, then you have a hung up starter solenoid

    Wear Ring Issue

    Did the freezer thing and removed the old wear ring. Took the new 155mm ring from the freezer and slide it in part way and it started dragging a bit. Pulled back out and measured with a micrometer and was the same thickness as the old one in non-wear areas. Put it back on and pushed it down into...

    2008 Ram 2500 6.7L AC clutch bolt

    Good thing I back the truck up yesterday and left it running, I heard a slight noise under the hood, couldn't hear it inside the truck. Turned out the clutch end plate was laying on the fan shroud. Appears the bolt had broke off. So I have a small maybe 3/16 diameter stud sticking out the end...

Suggest putting it in your signature so we all know and you don't need to remember. You might be talking about cool fuel if you fuel injected The blue plugs should screw into...
