actually it is pretty simple to install, the biggest hurdle is to fill and sand all the seams/ knots so they do not telegraph through the membrane. After that it is as simple as applying contact cement to the bottom of the membrane and the wood, let dry and then lay it in place. As to how it holds u...

if it only backfires AFTER warming up it sounds like a fuel issue, too lean can cause backfiring and the only thing that changes between a cold engine and a hot engine is the fuel mixture. Timing, spark and such remain the same (coil can breakdown I guess but causing a backfire?) With the choke on i...

Torcan, What about Zebra mussels? Shhhh... no one mentioned Zebra Mussels. But.. I haven't got any of them either !!! Not a single one, guess it is because of the new bottomkote I put on before launch. Could also be because the Ministry of the Environment seeds around our Basin to kill off the weed...

it is called an anti-siphon valve and prevents fuel from siphoning into bilge if a lower fuel line should break. The fuel pump can draw fuel past it but not gravity. They can get sticky. It is a ball and light spring inside. Larry is correct. It is mounted on top of the tank, and looks like a regul...

the engine is carb'd and the thermostat is a 143 deg I had a mechanic come down last week and run the ir gun this time as the admiral is getting impatient and I figure two of us can get this done quicker, he took a few readings to be sure.
