My weekend SUCKED. NEw coil thought it was fixed>worst...I also lost the piece that holds your forward/ reverser cuo on the nozzle...i guess set scre came out & that dowell or what ever its called fell out,all thats left is that teflon insert......I'm taking the engine out of my Nova to Bay City tomorrow morning when I get back I'll bring my boat up there......if nothing else falls off of it... :smile24: :smile24:

I met "Coonass" out at the lake Saturday, but I wasn't in a real talkative mood.....but seems like a nice guy.....Kenny came out a little later.

Add a vent to your beer can, makes the beer flow faster & reduces belching.... :smile12:


Like replacing a 600 vacuum secondary with an 850 double pumper..... :smile13: :smile15:

Ah hell, been a long time since I knew anybody shotgunning beers anymore, lol...

I was talking about poking a hole in the opposite side of the can up towards the top, opposite of where you drink.

Kinda like this in the old days....

getting back to the subject Alan, did you guys put the msd in yourself or other?

voltage is getting rapped from something like the wrong gauge wire, splice, or something that the voltage is running through can't take the amps
No boat had it all in it when I bought it about 1 1/2 years ago. Duane has the boat at his shop, & said he thinks ignition switch. It should be in today, he will probably install it & take it to the lake this weekend.
