Seems to me from experience with a lot of different engines is that the OMC puts out a noticeable amount of more power than equivalent 2 strokes, at least in the smaller engines. As stated, the more cylinders, the smoother the engine will run. You will notice that in the lower rpm ranges and...

Too Funny :lol: Ron

End of July--early August. Usually departed from Port Alberni, and traveled by boat to Bamfield. We would always be told we were a week too late,or a couple of weeks too early :smilep Ron

As above, but I use Cetol from West Marine. Teak colored with about 3 coats lasts a long time.

Going after both Chinook and halibut offshore at Barkley Sound I always let the downrigger balls bounce on the bottom. As the balls bounced, you could watch the line slack and tighten, as well as the fishing line. Trick was to keep the ball on the bottom so that the wave action would lift and...

Dustin, glad to see your use of the boat. I wish we would have been able to do as much. Keep up your posts and pictures. Ron

$11.7K, anyone here it?

An opportunity for people to have a project. Well worth watching http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-C-Dory-22- ... Motorboats

Dustin, I ran the Wallas regularly overnite when in BC on one battery. The wallas is pretty easy on the batteries. I never had a problem. I just switched to the other to start the boat, and then put the switch to both, once the engine was running. Never a problem. You could also carry a...

From what I have seen, 10-30 is fine, and an option when ouside temp are not extremely high. Make sure it has as good of other specs listed.

You can pull the line off the racor, and get it to drain that way, or you can pull the line loose at the fuel pump, or you can cut the line and put in a female and male matching quick connect before the fuel line enters the motor. Even when you run the motor dry, I would open all of the carb...

Polishing the fuel is simply running the fuel through the f/w separator. As it does that, the fuel should be relatively clean. I would use it in lawn mowers, etc. You should be able to pull the internal engine filter up to get to the clamps. Many engines have side cowlings that must be...

Of note, often fuel-water separators will restrict or stop the flow of fuel once the water hits the interface of the filter media. If you racor has a drainable lower bowl, I would do that. If not, I would make sure it has a fresh filter. Similarly, the internal filter on the engine should...

From diagnostics you did, I would say there is about 95 percent probability that the coil is the problem. Good, logical process to discern the problem.

I had a yamaha 100 that had a fuel pump failure where a spring broke and the baklite body broke within the pump allowing fuel to get past an o-ring on the push rod that is driven by the cam. That does dump fuel into the oil. You can take the pump apart and check for damage. However, an...

You might be able to isolate the cylinder by unclipping the fuel injector wire on each cylinder, similar to disconnecting the plugs. If there is one bad cylinder, then you will note a radical idle rpm change in all but the bad one.

The enricheners are what you have circled. When the motor is cold, these act as chokes. Also, the vents on the carbs are holes that you will not be able to see while mounted on the intake manifold, but will leak some fuel when the engine is tilted. You can also get fuel that will leak out of...

Why can't you just put "ear muff" on a hose and run them a bit? Ron

One other thing of note...when you have a slight chop, the boat is faster...takes some of the drag off the bottom. This is especially noticeable when you are at a near critical point of the power range. On my boat, I found the fuel consumption and speed were both improved by having the bow of...

Since the bulb relies on vacuum to pull the gas, it indicates either an air leak before the primer bulb or a faulty bulb. I would hold the bulb with the discharge facing skyward to see if the checkvalve in it is good. If that does not work, then check the o-rings on the fuel/water separator...
