The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have initial beep at remote when turning on key. I have verified neutral safety switch. 12 volt at starter from battery. No voltage out of solenoid when key bumped to start position. I can crank motor over directly from starter however. 30amp and 15 amp fuse verified. No voltage to fuel pump...
I don't have that tool but I took driveshaft over to the lake marine shop and the old timer with the tool checked it and said it was within. 003 and there are no shims available that small. His advice was if he were rebuilding the LU he would put it back as is. With existing shims. I took it...
I used the same shims that came out. They were undamaged and I cleaned and re-stacked them in same order as they came out. I will pull pump back out this evening. . Is there any advice on lining up the plunger rod on the solenoids into the small levers on back side of oil pump? They are straight...
Just did a rebuild on LU. Any tips on getting pinion back on? Oil pump seems to have seated correctly on guide pin. Maybe tap it back using the 1/4" threaded rods I used to pull it with? Driveshaft doesn't line back up w spline portion of pinion when looking down through lower bearing in LU. The...
I got all seals ordered. Tore into LU. Clutch dog mesh teeth well rounded as well as mesh teeth on reverse gear. I ordered new OEM parts on ebay. Anyone know the pinion nut size on end of driveshaft? I'd like to pull oil pump out and inspect/clean while I'm in there. Thanks
Thanks for the input racerone and F_R. I'm thinking I will do a teardown inspection. Clean n repair if need and reseal of the LU. The only thing I've replaced in it is the complete water pump and a solenoid wave washer 3 or so years ago. I'm having trouble locating gearcase seal kit. Marine...
Motor just making slipping grinding noise when trying to engage into reverse. Will not go into reverse.. Shifts in and out of forward no problem. Proper lower unit fluid and fluid level in LU. Thanks for any input in advance
I have a great running 65hp selectric shift. Shifts properly into fwd & neutral, however no reverse. I have repair receipts provided from previous owner showing the remote control box had been rebuilt as well as other items repaired. There is wiring attached on side of powerhead that was placed...
New plugs, new fuel line, fittings, primer bulb. Starts on 1st pull, runs perfect at idle but stalls when throttle opened up. I'm thinking maybe fuel pump diaphragm bad and not forcing fuel to carb fast enough?? If i prime carb then remove fuel line from pump to carb, start motor, twist throttle...
Re: Starcraft Rebuilds and Restorations, they're all here!
Trying to post some pics of my 63 Jupiter resto I started Sunday along with my little helpers, you shoulda seen em when we encountered a water snake nest inside the waterlogged foam, see pics,
Newbie to the site but been around floating toys my whole life. Embarking on a resto of a 63 Jupiter complete w/ original 75 hp Johnson. I did a 67 that was my pride and joy but after sifting through some of the posts on here...it seems I didnt quite do it right...used pressure treated on the...
