The manual says "5 notches lean" and I have found eleven notches on the carburator where the chokehouseing is mounted, but is the middle notch the baseline and then it's 5 notches lean and 5 notches rich or is it just eleven notches...

    Sea Fox / Legacy?

    I've just bought me a Sea Fox 210 WA with a Volvo Penta 3.0GS. "Sea Fox" is written with big letters on the sides, but the HIN starts with LY and in a manual I got with the boat it says Legacy 210. As far as I can see it seams that the "Legacy Sea Era 210" and the "Sea Fox 210" are almost...

    My 2.3L OMC won?t start so I began to check the spark. It was VERY weak. I have checked the pointer cap, the dwell is 37 degrees (should be 36+/-2) and the pointers don?t looks worn to out. The spark jumps about 1/6" (the manual says at least ??) and is very thin, and it doesn't matter if I...

    1969 Evinrude 55hp Point set?

    Hi I've a Evinrude 55hp from -69 which I'm tuning. I've set the points gap to 0.010", but when I read in the repair-manual (Seloc) it says that the first gap should open AND close before the second gap opens, but the second gap opens before the first gap is closed. What could I do about that...
