Thanks guys. It is the ISSPRO sender sold on the Moyer site, so definitely not original. I will have to look more closely to see if it is leaking at the sender or the threads.

Small leak at oil pressure sender

I'm noticing a small leak (less than a drip a minute, I think) at the oil pressure sender, just behind the fly wheel on the carb side. Has anyone had to troubleshoot this before? Any tips before I...

Thanks Neil, I did see that fix when I searched the forum and it is something that I will try to put in place - but b/c of the location of the HX it will be a bigger job. Any other guidance on...

Overheating now, trying to burp the system

I'm back in the water with two new impellers installed and the engine is overheating. I'm hoping this is just a 'burping' issue but last time I had to drain all the coolant (to do the water jacket...

Art, I just dealt with the same issue and couldn't find a 5/16 x 24 clevis with 1/2" jaws for my shifting arm. The closest I could come was 7/16th jaws, fortunately I had access to a big grinding...

Hello,
I'm replacing the impeller on my Oberdorfer 202 pump and as you can see from the picture, the new impeller is sticking out a bit. Is this normal or do I just not have the shaft seated all the...

Connectors for Shifting Cables

Hello all,
I'm replacing the shift cable on my 1975 C&C 33; the cable itself is fine but due to my lack of maintenance the clevis-type connector seized at the shifting arm. No amount of PB Blaster...

Ok, thanks everyone. If I can't get my deposit back (to facilitate staying at a local yard) I might have to try the tin can/duct tape method!
