  • I'm back in business

    WOW!! What a difference a gasket kit, plugs, plug wires and clean piston heads make. I also replaced the lower unit oil and fuel filters. I went from 850 rpm's at idle to 1025 at idle. No more leaks and I have 118, 117 and 118 compression in all 3 cylinders. I had to run thru the torque sequence 4 times to get the new head gasket to seat properly but, hey! The mechanic said that I might have to do that and I did. Can't wait to get her wet this weekend. Who wants to go for a ride in the new and improved 007?
    I work just enough to pay for my fishing habit.

      I'll be there bright and early Saturday. This construction on 45 is going to mess us up good. Fire up that little Eska just in case. Like Dad says, if you bring an umbrella, it's sure not to rain.

        I already cranked it up in a 5 gallon barrel.

            Thanks for letting me borrow that torque wrench. It will make tightening the underwater bolts on my dock much easier!

              You're not quick enough Homey. He was here while I was typing my response to him and told me that I was lucky that I listened to him or he'd sick Tiny on me. We live about 1/2 mile from each other.

                    Mike, that little motor is AIR COOLED. No need to fire it up in a bucket.

                            WTH is that motor? 3 cyl. = Yammie 90? Can't be-they're water cooled.

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.
