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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
