BOTER(NUB): winner winner chicken dinner? first time I ever heard that one
TMD: Lol...nice Bax
Bax: did I mention my office was throwing it away cuz it didn't work since the day we bought it??? Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!
Bax: off to the small engine shop for a new needle/seat set, installed it, cut new gaskets and now runs and idles up and down like a charm....
Bax: back apart again to blow out the jet with compressed air.......decided to blow through the fuel inlet too just to be safe....blew the seat 30 feet in the air and lost it.
Bax: rebuilt the carb on my air compressor today, was varnished up something awful, got it cleaned and running but needed to be full choke to stay running
Name: Hmmmm Droid X or Droid 2
TMD: Good Morning Nut....Weather still hot there?

TMD: cool
Bax: Well, off to a on water antique boat show
I will get lots of pics
Bax: Lets just hope that when it fails, it is close to shore.
Bax: Don't sweat it Boss, you know that you suggested the best scenario for his motor and his safety and we all know it too. This site is a testament to your "giving freely" attitude.
Magpi: I know right where your coming from, been there.
TMD: It's a little hard to swallow for what I do for the boating community as well....
Magpi: hmmm is right TMD. Sounds like his standards of what's good are a bit lower than yours and the factory.
TMD: yeah well...... He was told it was good by another shop
SToP: 80hp merc with 105 PSI? Sounds more like a 8hp!
TMD: I measured 30psi difference in compression between highest to lowest.
TMD: He took the engine to another place...they did a decarb and now its fine...an 80hp Merc with 105 as its highest hole...hmmm
SToP: I posted a new pic
SToP: Pretty good, Bax. I got the lof floor up today and lots of squaring and bracing done yesterday. Moving along nicely, compared to that #$%%#$ block wall!
Bax: how's the framing coming along SToP?
Bax: Sorry I lost my temper in the shop Doc :P
SToP: Truth be told, I doubt the guy would have gotten a rebuild at that quality for anywhere near what you charged him.
SToP: Oh, you mean word is getting around about you?
TMD: Had a guy accuse me of trying to "take" him for an engine rebuild today....
Bax: Merc-ster
Bax: Sup Nubs!
Bax: This shoutbox clears rather quickly some days and your question may go unnoticed.
Bax: Andrew, your best bet is to make a post in the proper category to the left of here, then you can click on the "get notification" button and you will get an email when someone posts a response
Andrew: if i could get help on this subject it would be much appreciated not on here too much but e-mail is annabug120706@yahoo.com if anyone can help

TMD: am now
don: Doc you around??
andrew: nope. no lea. had new brass put in recently and everythings free flowing to the manifolds
TMD: Both sides of the outlet to the manifolds I mean
andrew: nope no cracks. just not sucking up the water to push it through
TMD: no, not if you have even flow through both sides. Crack in the manifold?
andrew: cant find any blockage on that side. would it be possible to be before thermostat even though im getting free water flow
TMD: Must be a blockage then
andrew: i took off hoses and maifold to see if any clogs. also saw there was equally amount of water running from the thermostat to the manifolds
andrew: why would one side of my exhaust be burning up from a 351w. i have checked to see if there was any blockage
TMD: Normally means a lean condition somewhere. Maybe something was not tightend properly?
Kyle: 89' j40 ELCE...getting a sharp noise and cough from motor every 10 15 seconds....carbs just rebuilt...suggestions?
TMD: There should be a fuse on the engine that is blown and preventing the voltage from going to the key
Name: Ihave no voltage at my ignition switch, batt. is good etc. does the statrter solenoid transfer voltage through the wiring harness or what Shout!
Paul_Moir: Not AIM, just click anywhere it says "The Marine Doctor" in one of his posts. The click "Send TMD a personal message".

TMD: Other than a course bolt
