    At my wits end again….

    I posted awhile ago about this tower of power that has been giving me a lot of trouble and the journey. Fast forward to now and I have brought the boat to a mechanic and he didn’t even look at it after having it almost 2 months. So I found a cheap boat with a mariner 115 on it and I robbed the...

    New issues on engine

    So I ended up finding a bad fuel pump. She runs good again. I changed the impeller as well. Now when she is running I get the spray out the back. But I noticed a screw hole leaking next to the top sparkplug. Pictures to help troubleshoot below.

    So update, I did the compression test. Here’s what I got. 141,141,147,145,151,151. I can’t find a sticker for it anywhere to get a year. Or even a stamp. The only number I could read was 971-8435. I’m gonna attach some pics hope it will help identify, but be aware it the cowl was painted so I...

    Morning! I haven’t done anything on the engine at all. Ran some seafood through the carbs early on when I got her all back together. Rebuilding the carbs was limited cause previous owner or whoever worked on it jb’d a bunch of stuff. After watching some YouTube vids, I think there are jets...

    Good Morning all, so I just registered here because I need a lot of help. I bought this old pontoon a couple of years ago. The guy who sold it to me hyped it up saying it has a “tower of power” on it. Over the years I’ve learned a bit about this engine and for the most part it used to run good...
