I don't like to run wot for very long unless necessary. But when I do I squeeze the bulb lightly to guarantee fuel flow as I do not want to run dry for any reason. Like when the weather turns and I have waited a little to long to head in. I have the bulb right at my side. Might be harder to...

I'm dating myself here but why the side by side crank pin arrangement? I figured by now I would find or figure it out but not yet. Is it an outboard thing or sumpin else... Kinda be neat to time it to fire both at same time...yea, need twin cams for that. I'd even take guesses..

Omc 15hp small bore, fresh rebuild cause metal reeds had reed tips broken. So I use fiber reeds, jetting slightly rich and never any case explosions, or sneezing of one prefers. I did some case cleanup, and behind the liner mods and so forth. With tach it spins 7400rpm with 10p4blade prop. I...

I have a standup ski and would love to transplant the power train into my jon. But how does one clear the pump of debris without going swimming? Much weeds in the Mohawk river this year talking me out of this project. Or am I just looking for excuses for not doing the project?

I installed fiber reeds on my 9.9/15omc in April during a total rebuild. 250 hours later and it won't start easy, fuel in the airbox, screwie jetting and no idle. And barking out of the carb... Was going to tear it down this winter again for other mods so this forced my hand. Back to my 18ft...

Both my tinytach and my hardline tach are all over the place. The first tinytach I had used a coax wire with a grounded shield. That one was fine. The last tiny and hardline do not use the coax wire. I have read about others with the same erratic issues. I am going to replace the wire on my...

I've had my '79 omc15 for couple of years. The blubbery, crappy low speed operation is a known issue with them. The plug angle, unequal intake tract length, and yes.. a non aireated low speed circuit when fully flowing are some causes. The head design was to blame but was just a fix for a...

Never liked the "modern" suck fuel from a tank setups but made due. I am at a point in my boat project where I might go to a two line pressure tank setup with a permanent 12 gal tank. But i have some questions before deciding. Where is the pressure safety release vent to, if there is one. If...

Trying to look at some parts on ebay and i can't believe the used parts with old torn gaskets still on them. When checking for salt damage or other it would be nice to see gasket surface. Golly gee whizz... if asking for premium price clean the damm part. I feel better now...

Buttons seem to be the way to go for a land craft but my outboards wrist pin is vertical..still a good idea? Would the bottom button wear too fast? Anybody with experience with piston pin buttons?

I have accumulated 7 rods and new bearings for my omc 9.9/15 rebuild. Only need two so..how should I choose the two rods for this rebuild? One new one has a slight preload, one is 3 thou too big, two are kinked, one of the kinked ones I ran all 2015 without issues. So I can run the older large...

I received a new con rod for my omc 15hp 2stroke rebuild. Removed the rod cap to see more of my brand new con rod. Noticed the cap was not cracked off but rather had a sorta dove tail deal..put the cap back on and will not line up perfectly exactly like it should. I've farted with it for a...

Looking for thoughts on tire pressure for very light loads. I am at 15lbs now and it works good. With tires at rated pressure it bounces around a whole lot. Just towed my 1232jon for 45min and tires were cool. Just tow, everything good or will I be smelling burnt rubber soon..
