    Murphy's law

    By the way. Sometimes when I squeeze the primer bulb it will be hard as a rock. What would keep some knuckle head like me from squeezing the primer bulb to the point gas is gushing out of the carburetor?

    Temperature Sender?

    I was draining the water from my engine tonight and found this on the starter side of my 350. The drain plug was broke so I removed the whole thing but what the heck is that sender for? My temp sender is by the thermostat. I housing.

    Sometimes Forward Sometimes Reverse

    Was having some situations with shifting. Took the lower cable off of the interrupter to try to shift. At idle on the muffs i was able to get forward but not revers then reverse but not forward. Time for the outdrive to come off?

    Throttle Cable Conundrum

    Throttle Cable Conundrum
