Just came to the realization my tach is reading roughly 80% too high after comparing with a light-pulse tach. Does anyone know what is the correct pulse setting for a Teleflex tach on this motor?
Thanks!
Just picked up a new-to-me Landau 170 Bass boat (it's kinda like a Bass Tracker or Alumacraft Mod-V, all welded aluminum, rated to 75hp). It has a 2000 Johnson 50 hp, which my my understanding has a 2.42 ratio and an operating range of 4,500 to 5,500. Current prop is unknown aluminum (I...
I'm mid-swap. Summary of project: I got ahold of a 1998 Chevy truck with 210,000 miles on a mechanic's lein. The customer never paid for his new remanufactured engine that the shop just installed, so the shop took ownership of the truck and ended up selling it to me. I drove the truck around...
Currently have a 1999 Volvo 5.0L GL PWTR in my 20 ft Stingray. I put on a good 150 hours since buying the boat from a pawn shop with a disclosed freeze-cracked the engine block...but as strong as this motor is, I'm growing tired of my JB Weld patches repeatedly seeping, failing, and then having...

I have a slow raw water cooling drip into the bilge, from the rear of the motor. Using an inspection mirror I can see it is dripping out of what appears to be a small slot (probably a low-spot drain?) at the bottom of the starter, near the starter teeth/flywheel engagement...

After a fairly comprehensive tune-up completed over the winter (plugs/coil/wires/cap/rotor/set timing/compression test/rewire and/or clean all connections), my boat is now running like an absolute top. One last nagging little annoyance I'd like to dial out...some minor sooty residue...
