I got the re-seal on my old rude 18 done and a successful air pressure test, thanks to all those who helped along the way, I think I am brave enuff now to try it on my 1958 electric start 18hp, this was a test run so to speak. again thanks for your patience and sharing your knowledge & time. kodibass http://forums.iboats.com/images/smilies/joyous.png
