Well it ain't even 11AM quite and this is what, no. SLEVEN?
Well it was effin' fun while it effin' lasted LOL. Cleaned carb, added fuel pump (this was old pressure tank system) changed one bad coil. Ran it in the barrel. Amazing, water pump works, very very little water in lower unit. Changed oil. One side of mounting clamp was damaged, changed entire clamp to "more modern" one off a little later 40. Now it has the tilt mechanism with the push-pull rod, which may or may not be an advantage
Went out today, cruised around. Does 28-29 which is not far from the 30 this boat did with the newer 35. Ate lunch, then cruis............................BUT!!!!! Suddenly it lost power and would only run just above idle. "Idled" all the way to the ramp, spitting occasionally. Don't know if the used fuel pump is dying or junk in the lines. Lines are all fairly new or new, and tank is modern plastic. This will be interesting.
