Top Secret files

[bocephus1369]

Just curious what happened to the top secret files? They all redirect to something completely different. Are they even more top secret now?

Any luck on finding them? I have the same issue.

Fuel primer solenoid problems? (AKA "The little red lever")

Hi guys, Spent a frustrating (and fruitless) Sunday trying to get the boat started (1997 Evinrude 90HP). When I was trying to start it I was pushing the key in a few times so I thought I may have flooded the engine. Waiting for a while and removing and cleaning the plugs did not help at all...

to all of the members that want to help with the relinking portion.

it takes time

also, it requires taking the headlines from the stickies and pasting into google as such Maintainance schedule johnson site:iboats.com

I added the word johnson after what I was looking for to further narrow down some search parameters.

this site gives us all so much, least we can do is help dig up the threads so @GA_Boater , @jbcurt00 and the staff can re-attach and rebuild the stickies

 

[GA_Boater]

Thanks, Scott.

If the TS link has Verified at the end of the link, it should be a valid link.

BTW - Broken links are all over, not just in
the Top Secret Files.
