    So, what did you do today?

    You can't get a parts washer pump that pumps mineral spirits anymore. They quit selling them 2009ish. You are supposed to go green and use water based solutions that just don't work well.

    So, what did you do today?

    I am using 3/8" ID supply and output hose split to a spigot and brush. A electric fuel pump for carb motor. I believe it was rated at 5-7 psi. Wish I had about twice the flow. Would more psi increase effective flow? Fluid dynamics are not my strong suit. What ID hose did you guys use...

    @gm280 do you have a link for this power supply you speak of? I am using a battery and a charger. Maybe a little how to ifbyou have the time to explain it but I can probably figure it out. I prefer not to spend $100 on the power supply Scott speaks of.

    So, what did you do today?

    I just did the same thing. Actually, I started to do it earlier in the year but finally needed it bad so finished the conversion last week. I have mine plumbed to a spigot and a brush. Not quite the flow I want but it works. I ran mine through the large 10 micron yamaha filter.

    So, what did you do today?

    I am so sick of "progress" and technology and change. I am getting a call every 12 minutes, literally no exaggeration, from the apple support scam. Being a business i have to be able to answer my phone.

    Just do it. Life is short, welding is not hard. Once your friends know you will make money. There is a masters degree worth of metallurgy and welding info on the net and you tube.

    So, what did you do today?

    I repair skegs and such on a daily basis. Been using an old stainless centerboard for years. Just propped up on sawhorses. No way to fixture. This was sorely needed for my business. Been planning on making one but couldn't decide on a design. And being self employed there isn't much time.

    1997 J50ESL Timing linkage initial - Too long spark control rod?

    I also think you may have the wrong ends on the rod that you have disconnected. They appear long to me. It probably just the camera angle though so disregard most likely.

    Disconnect the remote control cables before attempting the link and synch.

    1997 J50ESL Timing linkage initial - Too long spark control rod?

    It appears you are missing the outer cover on the throttle cam follower roller. May just be the pick. Should be black inner layer and translucent outer layer just like the one in the timing cam.

    Stumbling on takeoff

    This does not need to be so complicated. If the bulb does not get hard make sure you are starting with a known good bulb in a generally upright position with arrow pointing towards motor. Test it on a buddys boat if necessary. Make sure it will get hard. Clear as much as you can out of the...
