Well I removed the check vavle from the bypass system this morning and motored out for a couple of hours today. The temperature gauge sat right under 140 the whole time. It idles down nicely and...

All I have at the moment is an ammeter, a questionable water temp. gauge and a busted fuel gauge. The birch dowel will not work on my boat. Fill hose is too long and curved.

Neil,

look at the green piece of metal bolted to the flange on the motor side of the standpipe. The other end is bolted to the back of the motor I believe to one of the transmission cover bolts. ...
