Aenlic,
Read your post regarding your Palmer 60. Own a 71 Columbia 36 MKII with a Palmer. Have spent the last year or so getting it back into running shape and have learned a lot about the engine. Have lots of resources for parts and advice. Happy to share with you and others. You mentioned that you have an original manual that you are willing to share. Would appreciate if you could scan a copy and share with me. I have not come across a copy in my research and would add to my library of info on the boat. Thanks in advance and look forward to talking with you.
