    Spindle Lube and Bearing Buddy

    I have a new trailer that has the through the spindle lubrication zerk fitting. I know this is a good thing, as you can add grease and it will shoot through the spindle and get the back bearing too. Kinda like a repack without removing the bearings. My question is, I have always run Bearing...

    1970 Johnson 65 hp o/b. Boat goes--sometimes.

    Do you mean upon acceleration or running at high speed? Does it do it when either hot or cold? Why were the carbs rebuilt? Because of this problem or did the motor sit for some time or was it something else?

    Washdown Pump

    I would like to add a pump to use for washing down my pontoon boat. What would I need to do this? How big of a pump and what kind? How and where would I mount it for convenience sake? I see they make coiled hose for this purpose. Are those just regular threads like a garden hose? Thanks,,,

    If you had old fuel in it, you will need to remove the carb, disassemble it and clean it out. Then get some new fuel and try it again. Old fuel is a major cause of motors not running right or at all...Do you have good spark now? Try putting some pre-mix in a spray bottle and shoot some in the...

    Thoughts on Sierra ignition parts

    What are your thoughts on Sierra parts such as Powerpacks, Coils, Rectifiers, Etc? How do they measure up to OEM parts? Does Sierra make their own parts? Looking at some new parts and they sure are cheaper. Sometimes by a bunch.....Is it worth the savings??
