    Well the furnace came on so it was time to cook

    We've been colder in the morning. No furnace yet. Just got a new one with new central air in July, haven't had the new furnace on yet. What is "Kelby"?

    Outboard lower unit interchange

    I found one of a 66 model year Johnson 20 HP that "looks right" by the eBay pic but I don't wanna buy it and have it be wrong.

    Outboard lower unit interchange

    I have a 1963 Evinrude fastwin 18hp short shaft outboard, model 18302, that I cannot get to stop mixing water in the lower gearcase. I've tried a new skeg (fin) new seals, ended up replacing the prop shaft bushings and seals as the original fin was cracked. I believe now that the fin and the...

    Ignition upgrade non-mopar

    You can retrofit factory Ford electronic ignition similar to how tons of people have retrofitted Mopar electronic ignition to Mopars.... And that way you can avoid Chinese crap Lots of newer 400s came equipped that way. Besides 400s the 351m would take the same distributor. Rusty rat rod had a...

    Outboard question

    On another note I've been also looking for another lower unit for the 18hp. I give up trying to get the original one to stop taking on water. Of this one plus the ones listed in my previous post dads 7&1/2 isn't going anywhere. But once I get the others going again they might end up being...

    Outboard question

    I boats never did get back to me. It's official now that '53, 7-1/2hp fleetwin and the '70 model 115 "starflite" are now mine. And I see an ad on market place for another fleetwin identical to it, same year. Though a lil worse for wear than Dad's.I hate ads that say "make offer" without any...

    So how sad is this

    Never could stand crap like limpbizkit or Megadeth, I despise Def LEPPARD OR GUNS N ROSES, Nirvana. At 57 I still like what others my age and my older brothers age (mid 60s)called "hippie music" I love Sirius classic vinyl

    What are you listening to ?

    Sirius classic vinyl. Pink Floyd "wish you were here" great band and song. And wishing the Sirius in my truck didn't just die when I pull it in the shop at work as all the local radio stations suck and there ain't many choices. The one I can mostly tolerate pisses me off because I cannot STAND...

    Home AC System

    I wasn't happy about having to go get $8900 out of my 401(especially with the penalty I'm gonna have to pay the IRS)to have my furnace and central air replaced a couple of weeks ago, but the guy used the same thermostat as was there with the old setup and it seems to be working fine .. Those...

    To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

    On fake book the "is item still available" is the automatic response in the reply box. You actually have to delete it for it to " not" come up. I still buy occasionally on CL, recently I bought a Troy bilt horse tiller and a power washer. Both deals went fine. I don't have fake book. And don't...

    Home HVAC cost?

    W T F I'm needing to replace the system I had put in in 99 at a cost of $3400. Now same equivalent will be $7900? Huh? If I JUST had the AC portion done it's $5300. I have a 100k btu 80% rheem furnace and 10 seer 2-1/2 ton ac. The condenser is shot, has a hole. Won't take freon. Main problem...

    The thrill is gone?

    And the tow truck driver disconnected the trans linkage on that 21 f150 because it wouldn't come out of park even with the key, so he could load the thing. and when he went to tilt the rollback, the freaking POS put itself back in park with the front wheels still 2 feet from being off the tow...

    The thrill is gone?

    Alot of the problem for me is what cars and trucks have become. I'd so much rather work on my 70s and 80s stuff, I have a '21 f150 that came into work on the hook, won't run. My scanner won't read it. The shop's won't either. I don't have $1k to update mine. I shouldn't have to for them. Damn...

    I recently got a parts breakdown from egag for the 7-1/2hp. I found the original pn for the impellers. Went back to egag and searched for it. Several hits, don't know how one guy thinks he can get $58 for the same NOS OEM impeller as another seller had for $8. For $8 ea, I bought all 3 that guy...

    I see a couple of trim/tilt units on places like CL but listed for newer versions of this engine. I wonder how interchangeable they are between years?

    The last 50hp I messed with was a '59 Evinrude starflite 4 cylinder. Ran great but too light of HP for the boat we had it on. We bought the 115 to replace it for a few more ballz but Dad died, we never got it mounted. If I get it id like to convert that 115 to power tilt/ trim if possible but...

    Outboard question

    My Mom is in bad shape, my brother's are going thru things and have a dumpster there. I was asked if there's anything I wanted from there and Dad's old 7-1/2 and the '70 115 are the only things I spoke for. I'm the last one to have run either, the 115 was last started in 97, the 7-1/2 was not...

    The 7-1/2s have a clutch rod that protrudes above the gas tank and starter , just says "clutch" and they spin 360* in their mount, you have to spin them around 180* for "reverse" I know the next year newer they changed that engine a lot, 54 they went to remote tank and I believe actually got a...

    I've been thru the ignition on these things albeit 10 years ago, neither has seen water since. If things play out I may need 2x the parts for the fleetwin. I have a line on my dad's which is a twin to mine. On the 63 18hp I have never been able to pull that thing over with the pull start...

    How hard is parts for 50s/ 60s Evinrude? Need an engine gasket set, carb kit, and probably an impeller for a 53 fleetwin (7-1/2hp model 7512 ) and a fuel pump gasket, plus possibly a carb kit and impeller for a 63 18hp (model 18302 if I remember right)
