    1989 85HP Fuel Pump

    Thanks Jerry, I will leave it as it is just was wondering that if in any case I needed to change the complete pump, I could just buy the one with out the spring or have to buy the exact same one. By searching on ebay it seemed there were much more offers on the one without the spring...

    Milky fuel in carb intake force 85hp

    Thanks I'll do that, I believe I read in other thread there is no Torque or torque sequence for the cylinder head bolts right? I should just try to torque it firmly in a cross pathern or something like that? Would using some liquid gasket maker be good? or could damage anything?

    Milky fuel in carb intake force 85hp

    Is there any video or instructions to test the Spark Gap? I've seen a couple that are not very clear to me. To have spark I should crank the motor with the kill switch not activated with risk of starting the motor, will there be any issue if the motor starts with one plug disconected?

    Milky fuel in carb intake force 85hp

    Hi Jerry, I don't think it was contaminated, actually I fill up directly in the gas station and this boat is always stored in a covered shed no chance to get water. Anyways I will try your suggestion. Is it normal to have this residues in the carb intake? Regards
