    Thermostat housing hole.

    Got all the parts to finish now. New o rings, jets, main jet etc. Tomorrow I’m taking #2 to the machine guy to see about getting the main jet out without damaging anything. After that I’m going through them one at the time again and complete assembly then back on the boat. I’ll let you know how...

    Fuel thread sealant

    I appreciate all the replies. With replacing everything I didn’t want something like the wrong sealant to spoil my fun.

    Fuel thread sealant

    Thank you. Does it stay together when you have to remove the fitting later?

    Fuel thread sealant

    I thought the data sheet on #3 said it was not soluble to gasoline. I must have misunderstood . Thanks so much for the input.

    Fuel thread sealant

    Hello everyone, I have a new question. I recently replaced the entire fuel system which begins with a portable fuel tank. The new poly tanks are not vented which means I installed the recommended fuel demand valve as well as recommended sprayless fuel fittings. One of the new fittings is leaking...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I just came in from the shop . I set the floats with little adjustment and used a vernier caliper. The diagram or the tech didn’t mention checking the seat height so I’ll go back and check. Float needles look new as did the pilot screws. I think a kit or part of a kit was installed not long ago...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I went fishing on another forum for my motor specs and got lucky. A support tech posted a diagram for me. Float height is 15mm and to adjust the metal piece on the float the needle hangs from. After my luck today I’d hate to bend it a little and it breaks. Lol

    Definitely been a learning experience. 2 and 3 floats didn’t end up sitting as low as the first and the 3rd. doesn’t open quite as far but it does open and let’s air flow through. Should I figure out how to get them all the same or they ok just getting fuel?

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I hate to admit this. When I cleaned them I shot c cleaner through then air and the passages where open so I didn’t bother to run anything through the holes . Then I polished them like new. Blew carburetor cleaner and air again. This was before I had a magnifying glass. I’m guessing toothpaste...

    Lochridge prop

    The boat came with an aluminum prop on it. I figured they spun the hub on this one and aluminum is the spar. Guess I’ll end up checking with a prop shop. They may be able to find the right hub. Don’t like having just one prop when I go out. Especially the river.

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Question sir. I almost messed up with the slow jets #60. The third one clogged and I couldn’t get a tooth pick to work. So I thought I’d compare it to the others and when I ran a toothpick in them they clogged as well. I don’t know if it’s toothpaste I missed or what. Anyway my question is does...

    Lochridge prop

    The only other markings on it are ( m70 21p) the 21 has an x stamped over it and a 14 stamped under it. 14 pitch would be right for the boat and this size prop.

    Nothing fancy but it’s paid for and I’m fix it up the way I want. Motor was the biggest issue. I’ll be on the water soon as I get it back together. Then I can take my time on other things.

    Lochridge prop

    Anyone here ever heard of Lochridge brand stainless boat prop? It came with a boat I purchased and needs a new hub kit installed. Problem is I can’t find anything on it online. If you know of these please point me in the right direction. Thanks to you all.

    Thermostat housing hole.

    You’re right about those seats I’ve spent several hours on each one until the cotton came out clean. I tried to remove them with a thin wall 10 mm socket and they don’t want to budge. I was going to inspect the little o ring on the end of them. Hopefully they’re ok. No telling how old the seats...

    1and3 are 115 jets. Unfortunately everywhere I checked the 125 is at least a month away in Japan. Unless you have a source I may have to leave it for now.

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I couldn’t make out the numbers. Will have a magnifying glass tomorrow and see if that helps. They had told me my motor had the 120 but not available and that their technician said better to go up than down. I’ll try looking at the numbers again tomorrow. Who ever before me had already scared up...
