    Chrysler 65hp telltale and temp. sensor

    While waiting for parts for other projects on the engine I installed a telltale and a temperature sensor. On my engine there's a stainless plug right on top of the block and that's where I mounted the telltale. I thought about putting the temp sensor in there as well, in a Tee, but I didn't have...

    While waiting for parts and stuff to complete the repair of the worn clutch dog and gear on my Chrysler 65hp I ran across some pictures online of vintage race Chryslers, merc's and others.

    Prop for 13 spline one piece lower, options?

    Now that my boat has finally been assembled and the engine started it's time to play with prop's. Last time out we hit 28/29 knots, 33/34 mph, at 5500 rpm and this makes me want to play a little with pitch, design and maybe even size! But this is not a "what pitch" question, but a "where do I...

    Just bought a 65hp Chrysler, a no runner

    Hi from Denmark I just bought an old Chrysler 65hp outboard and need some advice on parts and troubleshooting. The guy I bought it from said that he could only get it going on the lower cylinder and that the upper was dry. He opened up into the reed valves and said that they where not closing...
