Got it on the lake yesterday to catch a bluegill dinner.
Seemed to run better. Still not like I remember. If I sit a little bit more to the middle she almost gets on plane. Next time out I'll set the trim in a little bit.
More than likely it's my older extra weight than when I was a younger man.
Started it up yesterday. Nice spray of water now!
I have a 55 gallon plastic farm barrel. Should I leave the propeller on or take it off?
For short starts, I use a tall bucket so the water is above the pump. I remove the prop so as not to blow all the water out or chew the bucket up. Also a...
The O-ring definitely had something to do with it. It was swollen and made it very hard to push the tube in. Replaced with new one.
Straightened tube and tightened rivets.
Wow! That tube sure bends easy! I can understand how it got whacked up.
Had to make new gaskets for under the...
The crankshaft seal, that is.
It runs okay in a barrel, not that it means too much.
I've had it many years, but have never really used it. I think PO used too much oil by the looks of the build up. I use 32:1
Decided to pull the power head.
The tube appears bent slightly and the end is mucked up some. The driveshaft looks to have rubbed on it at some time.
I'm going to try to file the end to good surface then rebend the tube so it's just inside the pump about the 3/4 in.
Also I'll try to tighten...

I'm not getting good water spray.
I changed the impeller. The old one was not disintegrated just permanently bent blades. Installed new one.
When putting lower on, the water tube seemed very wiggly and doesn't seem to go into the pump body very far.
Question: can I...
The carb didn't seem to bad, the idle jet and the low air mix needle were a bit whacked.
I think the timing is the bigger issue. I must have measured btdc and atdc wrong last time.
The impeller was also disintegrated. When the new one gets here I'll try it out and let you know if it's running...
Tried the Marvel ring soak on a 99' Saturn 4 banger. The stuff was impossible to get back out and blew the ceramics on all 4 plugs. Lucky to have not bent a rod or blown head gasket. Hydrolock.
My favorite decarboning cylinder cleaner is a slow spray of water into a revving intake. 4 stroke...
32:1
All my literature says that or 1/4 pint per gallon. Also have a similar vintage chainsaw and Clinton J9-1000 that uses same ratio.
ICRC, years ago I used 24:1 water cooled oil in this one. Can't remember for sure, as it sat for many years when I was suffering from 2 footitis.
I'll let you...

Wouldn't start last year, cleaned points, set timing and cleaned carb. Also fixed hole in float.
Used it couple times last fall and this year. Boat is a 10 ft tinny.
Years ago I could get this on plane and...
