    Mixing oil?

    Can't disagree; but I have them on hand, they aren't much different IMO, and I hate to just get rid of them. That said, for $4-5- I may just do the obvious. :) Buy a new jug of 10W30 and mix these left overs together in one container and just use it in oiling cans.

    Mixing oil?

    Thought I would ask here first. I have several plastic, partial bottles of oil, some SAE 10W40, 10W30, and SAE 30. All unused but all open. There is enough to combine into one full quart. It would be used in an old beater lawnmower at a lake house ... oversized wheels fitted and used to keep...

    1992 E'rude 8 hp. link and synch .... deciphering the manual

    This does not seem to be working properly. The manual does not seem to be very helpful in troubleshooting it. The handle mechanism appears fairly coimplicated to open up and play with. The adjustment point on the cable (under the hood) appears to be all the way out ... i.e. unscrewed as far as...

    Thanks. A T30 is too big. But I actually bought a set from Amazon which arrived Friday. I will have a go today.

    Perfect answer, thanks. Is there a trick to separating the "bullet connectors"?

    Nissan NS40D Control box/neutral switch/dead starter question

    So I opened the electric portion and found the Neutral switch. The manual says to disconnect the wires to the switch in order to test the switch. The contacts on the switch appear to be spade terminals so I was expecting them to pull off. They don't and I may have damaged the switch. The...

    1992 E'rude 8 hp. link and synch .... deciphering the manual

    I am almost there, but the two set screws that I need to adjust seem to be an oddball size. Neither 2.5 mm. nor 3/32" will fit. The manual does reference an "OMC service tool". Would OMC have gone off the page on this? My options are to dremel a slot .... try needle-nose pliers ... or try to...

    1992 E'rude 8 hp. link and synch .... deciphering the manual

    Thanks RR1, It starts beautifully now, but it was not the starting procedure it was a carb problem. For the L&S do I really need to redo the timing if all I messed with was the carb?

    1992 E'rude 8 hp. link and synch .... deciphering the manual

    Brief background (apologies for the length :) ): Got this engine, used ~ 10 years ago to replace the same motor in Johnson model which was stolen. That Johnson was always a bear to start after a few days of not running. Once it started, it would start with one or two pulls as long as it was...

    Nissan NS40D Control box/neutral switch/dead starter question

    Thanks Paul. Got it. My problem is that I have never opened one of the control boxes before and my factory manual is very limited on details on opening it up. My question is is I am reasonably competent at repairs, and am careful, is this fairly straight forward. I am replacing two control...
