    Check/Fix/Replace Starter Motor 1996 50hp

    Yep , easy job , and cleaning out all the coppery dust from worn brushes can also help with internal leakage.

    was thinking of changing over to a Delco EST system from points....

    That looks like a good bit of kit for 600 holes.....but if they really are not that reliable maybe not . There are heaps of options re retro fitting a pointless system to your original dizzy ( as long as its not to worn . I have fitted a few kits to cars that have had enough spindle wear to...

    When boating, always ___________________

    Yep ,I either tell someone or leave a note whenever I leave the house ( now ) to adventure outdoors ,being disabled I rely on a quad to go anywhere around my beat ( farm land and local river ) about 10km in any direction . I only have had to be "rescued" once .......and that is what led to the...

    Best "free" fish scanning and verifying/regulation app?

    Yes ,we have Snapper and they vary quite a bit in colour depending on habitat and the older ones develope a head bump .......They still look like the same fish. I guess its the same thing as trout and salmon getting that hooked lower jaw. I think some rules like your not being allowed to boat a...

    Chinese carbs

    The carbs are pretty much identical , probly where the original came from . I have since reamed the air correctors and now the china carb works fine . I dunno if the differences were an attempt to clean up the exhaust or maybe off a different size motor ( carb was advertised as fitting 9.9 to...

    Lubricate new water impeller rubber ?

    It depends on the delay between assembly and the 1st run . If its straight away then a bit of water might do but if there is any significant delay Id go for the grease as even dish soap and KY will dry out and get real sticky and hard to turn ......maybe enough to damage the impeller. When I...

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    The weaselpiss will penetrate ....possibly not as fast as you would like. I have previously made little dams out of modeling clay (or similar ) around bolt heads and top it up with your fave potion so it can soak over time .....also made small funnels around the top end of control cables and...

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    Yeah thats it .....getting whatever potion you choose to the actual work site ( my Granddad used to tell me "a drop of oil in the right place is worth two along side " ) and my thoughts are that heat cycling helps the elixir move thru the joint . I guess some peeps get the knack. I got good at...

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    I think most of them penetrants are pretty much the same thing in a different can . I dont think there is any guarantee of success anywhere on the can 😁, and I think that accompanying technique has a fair bit to do with the success ....or not thereof . Getting a bit of practice in squaring off...
