I guess the first thing I'd change is the old Moto Alternator. They just don't put out much output. You can buy a delco 70amp for about $65 online.

Choke is fine.

I talked to Don and he said any of the above would make it run bad all the time, it wouldn't be intermittent.

It starts right back up easily, that's not the issue.

What problems did you solve by having a fuel pressure gauge? Bad fuel pump? I have a Moyer electric.

Boat starts up great, runs out of gear fine, warms up, revs good. But then if I put it under load it runs ok for a minute or so with good power, but then slowly shuts down. No amount of...

Happy to report back that I was indeed 180° off. SBMolly's ideas of having my "remote starter" (my wife) turn over the engine, then rotate twice afterwards did the trick. I agree, no way to feel the...

What CCA does an A4 require?

I was thinking to remove the starting battery and just use one of these if something goes haywire.

Rear oil seal replacement

Hi;

I'm getting quite a bit of oil being flung around the shaft coupling. Looks like the coupling/rear seal need replacement.
