First proper 180 with same rotation fakie out. ~attempts a session x ~sessions. Got it in a couple weeks. Thanks r/BMX. Critique/pointers appreciated.
Gifted to me by step Dad. Pretty wicked memory on the tapered leader. Sufficient to learn on? Been sitting for a couple years. Some of these flies seem to have weighted heads.
How much do you think this catfish weighs? My digital Rappala scale broke.
Reverse slippage. WHY?!? 1966 Johnson 60HP V4
1966 Johnson 60hp V4 won’t fully engage reverse. Any obvious issues in these photos?
1966 Johnson 2-stroke 60hp tuning help
First attempts at fiberglassing. 1966 Bell Boy restoration.
Do I need a new string? Do I need my bow “tuned”? What does tuning entail?
Rear passenger
3D printed GOVEE light mounts.
Govee outdoor light install - 10 splices
I can’t add any additional layers of these parts above the base layer. I have to print thousands of these but at one layer per print (18 parts), it will take a while. How do I add a support layer and float the subsequent layers above?
Locked control4 system. Client is asking if it can be revived, or should be fully replaced with a new system.
24’ hyper lite little giant extension ladder. Repairable or trash?
Need help with turntable. Set the counter weight to 1.5g and have tried anti-skate on all three positions. Cleaned stylus with new rubber pad. Tried both settings on phono preamp. I’m thinking corrosion on stylus.
Resealing 1966 fiberglass Bell Boy 16ft boat. Questions
Custom engine side steering linkages seems to function as intended. Recommendations for modifications appreciated. Bellboy 16’ / 1966 Johnson 60hp / Mercury Quicksilver Ride-Guide steering.
Restoring the Kiekhaefer Mercury Quicksilver Ride-Guide. The centerpiece of steering wheel rotates with the position of the motor. Kinda cool. Some questions.
Boat steering linkage. Some much seems wrong with this I don’t even know where to start. Any advice is much appreciated. I’m contemplating trashing it all and starting new.
1966 Johnson 60hp restoration. Starter motor. Could this condition have caused the whiny/screechy sound? Manual states to only add small amount of lightweight oil to spring. But looks like old grease in there. Would you run gears dry?
Can this be repaired or must I replace it? Working on this restoration and want to get the most performance out of the project I can. Would a different style (newer/lighter/bigger) prop give better performance or efficiency. I know nothing about props.
Started first pull. No carb adjustment done yet. Low speed set to 1.5 turns out. Pretty stoked.
VKH-12. Is last pic for exhaust and water outlet?
Which is the water (cooling) pickup?
Questions: Restoring boat interior-floor/side panels/wood shelving/vinyl
Setting point gap on magneto
1966 Bell Boy / Johnson 60hp restoration progress.
Lower unit oil - old Johnson V4 60 HP. ASSESSMENT? No metal flakes but does appear to have two types of fluid. One likely water. Other grey/blue. I did fog the cylinders with seafoam deep creep which likely made its way down into lower unit.
What is the foam on inside of outboard engine cover for?
Magneto ignition - 1966 Johnson 2-stroke, 60hp outboard - REVIVAL.
Endoscope photos: 1966 Johnson 60 hp, V4, 2-stroke, outboard. Diagnosis? All 4 cylinders were within 1 psi compression. Have not started it yet. I did fog all cylinders liberally with sea foam-deep creep, penetrating lubricant.
Progress on boat restoration.
Engine cleaned up nice (Johnson VXL-12R 60HP) 1966? - Super Seahorse v4. Some questions…
Engine photos of the 60hp Johnson
Another boat I’m interested in buying. Anyone have an opinion. Most recent owner has not started it. $800
Thoughts on this outboard? Reliable? Parts availability? I think it’s really cool looking.
Good fishing boat for $800? Inspecting it tomorrow to potentially buy. Will test compression and start it. Any pointers? Description below
Resolved the non rolling, roller issue. Fired up the welder and dug into the scrap metal pile.
Can I delete the rollers and add a second outer set of carpeted planks?
1974 9.9hp
Good model/year of outboard? Researching the serial number it looks to be an 85.
Cleaned all seams to bare aluminum, caulked seams with flex seal glue caulk, cured, now painting over entire hull with flex seal paint (thinking 3 coats total). Will it work?
Help identifying this Evinrude. Seller states is a 72 but also claims to not know much about it.
1988 Evinrude 6hp outboard (E6RCCS) - No reverse troubleshoot
How do I access the shifter linkage to inspect/troubleshoot no reverse? Looks like I need to remove the engine. Anyone have experience. 1988 Evinrude 6hp E6RCCS
Trouble with new fuel lines. Acts as if fuel pump isn’t working again. Starts, runs for 30 seconds then dies. Possibly no suction because of leak? Any way to get good seal with larger lines.
Time to restore the transome? Have a slow leak coming from the back area.
I think I have water in my lower unit. Replaced with fresh oil. No leaks. Not sure if my lower drain bolt even had a seal. Weird design. Lots of metal shavings though. Might be be that reverse gear. Going to send it tomorrow anyway.
Fixed my boat trailer leaf spring issue. Golf cart bushings worked great.
The main hub bolt was about 1/4 turn too loose. I snugged it with hand and all play was gone. Removed all bad/contaminated grease (there was a lot) before taking this video. Bearings have play but seem to roll fine. Replace or clean/re-grease/reassemble
Trouble finding bushings and sleeves that match these dimensions, that will be shipped in time for memorial weekend fishing trip. Any recommendations on sourcing? Worst case I fab something up but it won’t be pretty or quiet without some bushings.
Are my boat trailer bearings cooked? How do I remove them. I pulled the snap ring and spring but don’t have a tool to remove the lighter colored portion of the hub.
Which fasteners will provide access to reverse gears/assembly. Trying to troubleshoot no reverse. Doesn’t engage. Neutral and forward work fine.
Thanks for the help. Great day on the water. Despite continuous adjustment to air:fuel screw, couldn’t smooth idle, hopefully symptom of incorrect spark plugs (two heat ranges off). Ran great at full throttle though. Reverse wouldn’t work.
More pics of the mono leaf spring boat trailer POS
How to repair/straighten this leaf shackle? Also, both hubs rebuilt with new bearings. Thanks for all the help.
Help diagnosing 1988 6hp evinrude outboard. Starts after being primed, but dies shortly thereafter. Sounds fine while running. Seems like possibly bad fuel pump.
Any idea where this busted O-ring goes? It was sitting in the bottom of the bowl when I opened the carb up. Can’t see it in the part diagram. It’s not #27 or #22, those are gaskets and accounted for.
Skatepark near my house. Need help figuring WTH to try on my BMX bike. Newb here. I kinda just roll around d awkwardly. I can manual, 180, and working on 360. I can put pegs on but have never grinded anything. I can bunny hop relatively high.
