Nearest Wawa is less than 10 miles. They are all over the place here. Headquarters is less than 60 miles. Unfortunately, nothing but ethanol in Wawa gas in Delaware and, to my knowledge, the surrounding states. As long as the subsidies to waste corn in the production of ethanol continue, I'm...

I've replaced everything rubber that makes contact with gasoline in the old Johnson. The fuel pump, carb gaskets, float, both fuel lines. I have a pretty transparent blue feed line from the tank hose fitting to the pump now. Would have preferred clear, but the blue line was so cheap. The in line...

Thanks, According to that site, the nearest alcohol free gas is over well over an hour away from me in Maryland or Pennsylvania. #-o

It largely depends on what you want to do. I can usually find a prebuilt basic system for less or close to what it would cost to buy myself. I just concern myself with key specs and shop and compare. One advantage to buy is that you have one warranty if something goes wrong. I've only built my...

I've been in IT over 35 years and this is one of the most contentious subjects. Everyone has there favorites and most hated. I've used Norton/Symantec, Mcafee and Kaspersky, Trend and Sophos Enterprise products. Kaspersky wasn't bad except when a bad update killed a bunch of servers. At...

I'm the server security admin and spent a great deal of time investigating SIEM solutions working with our desktop and network security admins. Splunk did not make the "C" list. I also inherited a Splunk deployment when I started at my current job. After much research, attempt to work with their...

I still use Keepass, a great free password vault by the way, at work, but switched to LastPass last year. The convenience of secure passwords stored online and easily accessed in any browser on pretty much any platform was too good to pass up. Premium is only $9.99 a year. I got my wife to sign...

I wish I could find somewhere around here that sells alcohol free gas by more than the gallon tin for an outrageous price. We buy that for Fire Company's gas powered tools. Can't risk stale gas in rescue tools and they have pint sized tanks.

Octane is always an interesting and counterintuitive subject much like motor oil, but I'll leave that for another time. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating (igniting) by compression alone (pre-ignition, knock, pinging). In broad terms...

Thanks for the great post Cajun. Helped me get my Johnson FD-19 twin that I'd bought from a guy that had it in storage for 19 years going (I don't think it had ever tasted ethanol before). Rediscovered Youtube videos that I had found and lost in my research. This is my first outboard and first...

I've got the Service Manual PDF of the Honda B75 for all the good it's done me for lack of parts. Curse you Honda for seemingly not carrying anything over from the B to the BF series! No problem finding service parts for my '65 Johnson, but not even a gasket for a '75 Honda? At least some of the...
