    That’s exactly what it was. The needle and seat were corroded. All good now.

    1999 Johnson 115 Fuel Leak from “vapor pump”

    I’ve been looking since yesterday and can’t seem to find a kit. I saw that you can purchase just the diaphragm for $5, though. Is that what you’re referring to? Thanks for the response, btw.

    1999 Johnson 115 Fuel Leak from “vapor pump”

    My 1999 Johnson BJ115PLEEM has been sitting for a couple of years. I recently went to get it running again (carbs were drained, engine was winterized, etc before storage) and when the engine is at idle or I squeeze the primer bulb, fuel is coming out of the house with the blue arrow pointing to...

    Holley 4160? stripped fuel inlet!

    I thought I was finally ready to put the 74 formula in the water when I noticed a slow drip from the fuel inlet (where the steel line attaches) on the carb. The engine is a 302 ford and I believe the carb is a 4160. I took the line off of the carb and then removed the fitting which screws into...

    1976 Mercruiser 888 gimbal plugs?

    My 76' formula thunderbird is just about ready to hit the water! The only pieces I am now lacking are what appear to be (2) 1" male pipe thread plugs that are missing from the gimbal housing. The boat came with them missing and I can't seem to find them in a parts manual. There is one on each...

    85 OMC 3.0 Purple Wire to Coil

    Now that I fixed my tilt issue, I can finally attempt to start this beast. I bought this boat (85 Bayliner Ciera 2252) with knowledge of the following: The boat was last in the water 2 years ago. The prior owner went to start it last year and the alternator was seized. He ordered a new...

    omc stringer tilt issues

    I have a 1985 omc 3.0 with a stringer outdrive and am having an issue with the tilt function. The outdrive will go up with no issues, but does not want to come down. The Tilt motor looked fairly new, so I suspected a solenoid problem. If I use a pair of jumper wires to reverse the power cables...

    Mercruiser 888 Trim limit switch/sender

    I am currently in the process of re-installing the outdrive on my 1976 Formula Thunderbird with a Merc. 888 outdrive. The prior owner had the outdrive off as the shift cable broke and needed replacement. I noticed that the wires to the trim sender/switch that go through the transom were cut on...

    Hi Everyone, I have an issue with a boat that I bought and am looking for some advice... The boat has a 1976 Merc. 888 with 188hp Ford 302 v8. I bought it as a project, knowing that the prior owner had started to replace the motor, but never finished. I now realize that the motor he replaced...

    1979 Suzuki DT50 Revs Freely

    I recently purchased a 15 ft sport boat with a 79 suzuki dt-50 outboard. I was told (and have verified) that it runs, but with the throttles closed, will immediately rev up sky high. I can physically see the butterflies on both throttles are closed. Am I correct in assuming that I must have an...

    50 HP Suzuki (arctic) Spirit outboard free revs I just purchased a 15' sport boat with a late 70's 50 hp suzuki arctic spirit outboard. The motor will start and run, but even with the throttles completely closed it immediately revs way up. Anyone have any ideas or had a similar experience...
