So i think i have a stator problem and i just want to confirm i am reading my digital ohm meter correctly. I have to put the meter on 200k to get a reading and the reading is 3.5 .i assume that is way high for the 500 ohms required for the brown to brown/yellow test. Any lower setting just...

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a rough formula for fuel mileage for I/O or non outboard motors. I have seen the 10% of horsepower at WOT for outboards but what about "regular engines".

hello,
I recently purchased a1974 chrysler courier 231 with a 1974 135hp evinrude. I had plans of fixing up the boat but my finacial situation has changed. my question is this. is it better to seperate the boat and engine to sell. the boat needs a new transom and interior. the engine runs great...
I recently purchase this boat. it rides very well in the water. it has a 135hp evinrude of the same year on it. it has some give in the floors, so I was going to pull them and check everything. I know that there are some soft spots in the transom so I will be redoing that too. my question comes...
