    The End

    Engineering plan. For a credit car captain that adds another $30 bucks worth of time to the shop bill. 😂

    I do love a hood smoked cheese. When I was in China I ate a lot of stuff that I had no clue what it was. There was one thing that was just amazing and it turned out to be smoked tofu.

    1960 Evinrude 5.5 fisherman outboard

    Trailer parks used to be a great place to find stuff. Look for the main office or community area and you may find some posting or ask around.

    1978 Evinrude 70HP- Trouble starting/idling/bogging under load

    If it is in fact the correct unit you will also have the transom bracket bolts that go through the transom to deal with. If your lucky they we have a bit of wiggle room but if not you will have to deal with that as well. With the tilt tube nuts lose and the transom bracket bolts removed you may...

    We are finally getting some much needed rain here and most every one I have seen today is complaining about the weather. I don’t get it.

    Old motors DEMAND to be retired when they are 65 years old..

    I remember a lot of Vegas being turned into 1/4 mile cars in the 80’s. My buddy’s day was a huge fan of the AMC line up. In my eyes they were some of the ugliest car out there except for the Javelin of course. We drove around in a baby blue Pacer for some time and I remember feeling like...

    Car Hood Boats

    Never saw boat made from a hood but we had some good times in the pasture. Lasso a cow and jump on for the ride. Really fun in the snow.

    Old motors DEMAND to be retired when they are 65 years old..

    I have always wanted to write a book called made to fail. But I’ll probably be hunted down and removed from the planet if I do. Things must fail at some point to make the world go around. Where would we be if the things we bought lasted forever and never needed to be replaced.

    Sounds like you may have a good motor. Run it good and hard before you pull the head and check compression again. Rings may be a bit sticky form sitting around.

    cooking

    That reminded me of when I was a kid. I was behind a guy that was buying a massive bone in prime rib and jokingly asked what time dinner was. He said come by tomorrow at 5:00 and gave me his address. It wasn’t far from home so I did. Turned out to be a staff party for a small catering company...
