Re: Can I add a telltale to the Force?
I like Rudedude's work. With the rubber grommet and lower outlet location for the hose, it looks like factory original. Just the way Johnson/Evinrude did it on my Evenrude 40hp. Details make the difference!
I must confess, all my other motors in the past have been Evinrudes, Its quite a mess of motors in all my 57 years , I have a 1977 70 hp rude sitten in my shop right now waiting for a jet pump ,all Rudes , Dudes ( get it?) LOL
Thank You Mark42
A very short history of the "rudedude" I started life as a welder, became a fairly desent one at that after 26 years. My true love was guideing but it wont pay the bills when seasons are closed,so I welded in the off seasons. Opened a weekend guide service and ended up doing only that for the last few years. Now that I have retired Iam doing it full time again along with a jet pump shop as soon as I return to Washington State. Everything I have learned about outboard motors is due to break downs and just couldn't afford to have a boat shop fix them.
I must say this forum is a very big help and get as many parts off iboats as I need or they have for my motors.
eeards, You haven't seen a jet skier until you have seen a redneck on one LOL When you come down bring your video camera , you could make it on AFV and get some money for it.ha ha ha ha ha ha
These people are waiting in line to launch there PWC and get on them out of the water, still on the trailers and start them up. Go to WOT and sit there looking around . I dont know for sure but I think they are watercooled but only in the water? They sound like every bearing or moveing part in them is ready to explode.
Some days I spend a lot of time just watching these knotheads thinking I should open a jet ski repair shop but don't dare as I would spend too much time shakeing my and that gets my neck hunting.
