    Profile Information/Signature

    I don't claim to be the brightest bulb in the string, but I find it frustrating when I attempt to assist others on the forums and the poster has included zero information in either their Profile and/or Signature line. Frequently it is most helpful if the poster would give a clue where they...

    Which Alignment Bar???

    ...'85 470 to an Alfa One. Helping a friend get his rig going and alignment needs to be checked. I'm confused on the correct alignment bar. I believe the correct bar is P/N 91-805475A-1 If I am correct, P/N 91-57797A-3 would require machine to suit the Alfa One. Any recommendations?

    Evinrude 25 Idle Speed Adjustment

    Okay folks, I can not get the idle speed adjustment in the end of the shift handle of our E25RERC to respond. It just doesn't not seem to be connected to anything...the adjustment knob just spins freely. I reviewed the diagrams in the 'Top Secret' links but for the life of me I can not get the...
