    Testing VRO Alarm Without Pulling Oil Hose

    Maybe there a few left who still use the VRO for oil mixing. If you do so, it's crucial that the VRO alarm is functional. So the alarm should be checked on a regular basis. This is normally done by running the engine from premix fuel, pulling the oil hose, and waiting for the alarm tone to...

    Lower unit reseal, where to mount the shaft seals?

    Hi everyone, I'm preparing for a lower unit reseal of my 1989 60hp J60TLCEA.

    1989 60hp, adjusting shift rod hight

    3-cylinder J60TLCEA. Last year I might have turned the shift rod during water pump replacement. Shifting still works, but the forward/reverse gear engagement is not symmetrical and is probably out of the cable's adjusting range. Now I want to readjust the shift rod hight. Is it possible to turn...
