Re: 1958 Cadillac?
Racer: Both the Coronado and the Catalina look familiar, however I did notice that all of the Cadillacs are right drive in the brochures... strikes me odd, the dash is red along with the original paint, even the Cadillac emblazened steering wheel leads me to believe it's all OEM. <br />Oh, and the name has little signifigance... I had a penchant for cones one evening at a bar.
<br /><br />Chris: It almost looks as though Johnson had Cadillac in mind when shaping it's motor cover, or the transverse, Cadillac styled itself after those hot little motors... I'm really suprised at how well these motors run after all this time... The battery is in a new spot now (I'm sure you were losing sleep
)..<br /><br />UPDATE: Took her out this morning and nothing was unusual... Seems that every couple of minutes I get a miss or something...The engine jerks.. I wrote it off to old age, but today I lost my prop in the middle of the clear Mississippi. I fitted another prop but noticed I have a 1/3 turn of play when I turn the prop by hand... When I try for the top half of the throttle I rev WAY too high and get little by way of speed.. Perhaps that miss was infact a tooth missing in one of the lower unit gears and now I've stripped a whole bunch? (Sorry, this is defintely a engine related topic now.)
