Anyone know how to change the rubber mounts on the side of the motor? I think i have to drop the the lower unit to change them.

So i cleaned the carb and it will still wouldn't idle so i went ahead and looked at the fuel pump and turns out the line to the carb is crap and the part the line goes on broke so i ordered a new one and it will idle and runs better than before. The carb had some crap in it. The fuel pump runs...

ok thanks i will take the carb off today and clean it with some thinner and get a kit for it and see if that helps.

I have had the motor for over a year now and I love it. Can't beat an old two stroke. But i have a terrible time just idling meaning well it just won't idle. So after a summer of wearing my right arm out I have decided to fix that. Anyone know how? My motor is a 67' evinrude 18 fastwin.

Also is that boat made by Lonestar.

You could by some sheets of foam and lay under the decking for your bouyancy. And on the paint i would go check out this site https://www.finishing.com/107/12.shtml

See that's what i figured. I am an engineering major at the university of Tennessee. One of my buddys came up with the idea of gussets that would put a force pushing on the sides and floor. I would put a 3 4 5 triangle along the side a each rib on the inside to act as though there was a seat...

Here is the scoop. I have a 1956 Lonestar 14' v-hull. I was wanting to take the middle seat out for more walking room and standing room. So the question is if I remove that seat will it affect the integrity of the hull. In other words will the sides flex more and not be as sturdy with that seat...
