    Water in Bravo one drive

    IAC valves keep them for the weekend

    I helped a friend out last year, usual story boat would not idle on a nice sunny Sunday morning:facepalm:. So I did a quick mod to the valve (see pic) which stayed like this for the rest of the season and worked fine. I'm not saying this is a FIX, but an easy mod to get you out boating. Just...

    Leak down test

    Hi Would a leak down test give the same results on an open water cooling circuit as it would on a closed water circuit like in a car. Trying to find if the head gasket has gone before I strip it down, I'm getting water in the oil. Cheers Paul

    Hi Guy's & gals I have a Johnson 40 (I think it's a 92), when I crank it it will fire and run for a few seconds then cut out. To me that sounds like the choke is working?, I've looked at the pump and it's pumping gas when it's cranking so I think I can rule the pump out. That is the only thing...
