    Woods 9180RD Batwing came apart

    Yeah , I get that when you order something and when it arrives it doesnt look like what you had in your minds eye its heading towards negative , but I guess if you have the time and can be bothered sending it back and ordering another thats what to do ....but the new type might be better 😁 and...

    Vacuum line for Suzuki 2.5HP 4 stroke outboard

    Ok , I had visions of it just sliding in there with a little push . My next move would be to find a bolt with a shank ( the bit with no thread ) that does fit ,cut a bit about 6-8mm long and using a hacksaw cut a slot down one side to be the "orifice", remove the sharp edges and shove it in ,or...

    Tiny boat performance help

    My permatrim was made to fit ....I mean all they have to do is cut a different shaped hole , they have a list of models and sizes ....and they match the factory colour for you . I think its powder baked 🙂

    Tiny boat performance help

    Looks similar to my "Permatrim ", NZ made out of 5mm aluminium plate . There are some here who 💩💩 them but Im liking mine , I have had one on all my boats . They def give you a bit of lift and generally the motor answers to trim adjustments better . As you can see the peeps who make them dont...

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    On the scale of things outboard motors are pretty low stress . Ie my 90hp yamaha was 1170cc whereas a 2 stroke moto gp bike could poke out 180 -200hp from a 500cc motor . If one was to get a crankcase with atf/acetone or fuel you would get rid of it the same way as a flooded motor ....pull the...

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    50:50 trans fluid and acetone is a very good penetrant /solvent that has free'd many a stuck piston . A bit if trans fluid wont hurt the motor , and if your worried just crank it over with the spark plug out and it will blow most of it out . AND.....I know someone who once ran 4L of fuel mixed...

    Piston soaking a 2 cycle outboard?

    I think that if you have been using good quality oil there would be no point . I had a 2009 toyota with the 2azfe ,it had done 180,000kms when I wrote it off and didnt burn oil. I read about the oil burning issue and the drain holes bla bla bla , but near as I could tell it was only US peeps...

    Is it Safe to boat, knowing you have partial rotten stringer?

    I wouldnt . I have seen the arse fall out of a boat full of people ," blink and you miss it " sort of thing . One second the boat was zooming around ....full of happy people ...kids ...all smiles next second all there was was frightened heads and flotsam bobbing about in the water. Fortunately...

    1980 110(9.8) hp Mercury outboard

    These things dont work like you might think is logical . From an idle , motor ticking over ( the idle mix has been set right ) when you turn the twistgrip the throttle doesnt actually open , what increases speed is that the timing plate moves to advance timing because at idle the timing...

    Vacuum line for Suzuki 2.5HP 4 stroke outboard

    The hose will be a standard size ...like 4 or 6mm , the orifice ...as boscoe99 says is probly not really needed but I was holding off actually saying that 😁. If that were mine and that brass orifice was "stuck in there " I would cut the rubber hose off it ... maybe give it a wizz in the wire...

    Vacuum line for Suzuki 2.5HP 4 stroke outboard

    What your refering to as the back of the carb is actually the intake port and thats where the pump gets its pulse from ....as the intake stroke happens there is a vacuum pulse as the piston descends sucking air in ....this vacuum sucking/ pulse is transferred along the light gray hose in...
