  1. I have almost 2/3 bucket of 223/556 Uncleaned not deprimed brass, also approx. 100+. 308 brass looks clean but not deprimed. Make a reasonable offer. I also have a 50’s vintage Scott Atwater 5 horse outboard, hasn’t run in 12yrs but was running good until water pump went. Friend gave it to me with the pump and parts removed- have parts and manual. Make offer. Lastly I have a full custom canvas for a 1990 StarCraft islander 191v, great shape, blue age unknown don’t really use it, I have a half cover I’m using now and in the process of having a new half cover made. Looking to get about 800 for it. I know a new one these days is close to 2000 ,negotiable.

  2. Hey guys and gals, I started running dual sub trolls recently and for some reason the port sub troll temp is mimicking the starboard  temp. I raise the starboard rigger up or down , as temp changes so does the port temp matching pretty much exactly. How can this be when the signal goes up through the cable and they are completely separated up to the power source box. Any ideas or past experience?

  3. A lot of posts have pointed to carb and or pump. I'm dropping the carb off today for rebuild and replacing the pump which could possibly be the original over 21 yrs old. Last things it could be short of being an electronic issue. Thanks for all the input , hopefully we're done here!!! 

  4. Privatedata, I drained tank, checked fuel lines to pump, replaced fuel pump filter and installed a water separator all in last 3 weeks. Heath, could be the module, Tom at east fork said the same. Hopefully not. They are NLA, hard to find and mucho expensive, I believe the coil is part of the module. Pump is mechanical.

  5. Bruce, would your boat stall and then start right back up and stall again when accelerating? Did it happen during an outing with it seeming ok for awhile then act up? What kind of pump did you replace it with, OEM or another brand?

  7.  Maybe the carb does need rebuilding again, I'll try to find somebody to do it, I never have. Thinking of replacing the pump also incase of an internal issue, but seems to be OK, there is pressure in the lines when I pop one off the separator.

  8. Had the boat for 6yrs, no carb work by me. this issue has happened 3xs exactly the same. Does act like it's running out of gas but over 1/2 tank each time. I can run it the next day in the driveway and it fires up and runs, just did again just now , ran perfect. I just cleaned the large round connector above the ign coil and wires, they were corroded last year and I cleaned and put diaelectric grease on pins. The grease looked like it migrated a little between pins  so i just cleaned with alcohol and blew all the grease out and wiped. Did that first before running just now, ran great but has before after getting home. Might try again tomorrow, see what happens.

  9. Hi all, I have an issue with my 3.0 130hp mercruiser. Motor out to fish and runs ok out, troll for 3 to 4 hrs and it dies. I can immediately start back up and go 30 to 50 yrds at ~8mph and then it dies again. Try to go faster and it dies immediately. Can do this all the way in to get back + using my kicker. Checked fuel system to pump for crude, replaced pump filter, installed inline water separater, replaced plugs. Happened again pretty much identical to first instance. Seems like something might be getting hot like the coil maybe? Maybe the pump has a diaphram that is failing? Carburetor rebuild? Almost the same as a lawn mower that needs the float valve cleaned out. By the way the coil is almost impossible to find and I assume expensive since no longer available, and ignition control module is 760-820 bucks-yikes. this has a digital elect ignition. can it be converted to a standard elect ignition?  Any help will be appreciated greatly.
