You are ahead of me. I can't even figure out how to make a new thread/post.

I just figured it out..you have to be in the specific forum first.

Re: First Timer

Back to the engine. I'm painting everything like the stock Mercrusier.

I ordered a remote oil drain kit off of ebay. I can drain the oil out of the drain in the transom.

Re: First Timer

Well on to the carb. I rebuild the carb and after I took it apart everything looked good inside. I cleaned everything and put in a new kit.

Coming along.

Re: First Timer

I installed a marine grade ele. fuel pump because this was a 1995 Chevy 4.3L block with no place to install a manual fuel pump.

I worked long hours on this engine and it's looking good. I hope it runs

Re: First Timer

Thanks Bob, I have a few more pics of the engine to download and I will be starting the engine soon. I plan to have a youtube video of that. I have to work on figuring out how to get the clips of youtube on this site.

Thanks, Bruce

Re: First Timer

While the engine was out I thought I would clean the bilge and come up with a idea of the rear seat and sunpad. The things you can do with large cardboard.

I wanted to design the back seat and cover so I could remove everything but the sunpad to do any large maintance. It will make it easyer to remove/install the spark plugs and work with the manifold if need be.

Re: First Timer

Well , The engine is in it's place. Time to wire everything up and the hoses. I removed the carb. so the chain wouldn't damage it.

I have to take more pics. I will try to download them today.
Good Day everyone. Thanks , Bruce
