    90 force 50, 180° out after ignition redo

    Being as how this motor is a 2 cylinder , the two cylinders will be 180° apart and for whatever reason you are timing off the wrong cylinder so it will indicate that the timing is 180° out . It may well be that the new stator is miss-wired .......I just had a new pulse coil that had the...

    I would think lower oil pressure when hot at idle is perfectly normal. If it was to maintain full pressure at a hot idle the relief valve would be dumping huge amounts of oil at normal operating revs ....and thats an unnecessary strain on the oil pump drive .

    So what gun do you want to buy?

    My immediate want is a Remmington Wingmaster 28" 12 bore with multi chokes . I got given exclusive use of a private duck pond the month after I made the decision to sell both my steel safe shotguns coz I had nowhere to shoot ducks any more .

    5 litres of Mobil 1 triple action is $170 here. What sort of oil temps are you getting after your extended runs when your pressure is dropping to mid 40's

    Thanks everyone! ‘84 115 TOP rebuild going!

    1215 . It is good stuff , quite a few manufacturers use it , Toyota , Nissan ,Honda and Suzuki to name a few . I use cheap small temu artists brushes ( I get 20 of them for a couple of bucks ) to apply sparingly . 1215 will fill a bit of uneven surface quite well so it would suit your need :)
