'73 Glastron CV19 s/s project

What kind of fuel filter do you have? I have one of those with the glass sight that you can take apart, and I keep a spare element handy. They clog quick but it's super easy to replace just the element inside. Might look at the fuel pump too. Cliff had an Autozone Mr. Gasket pump on his and was having problems. Most on here run a Holley blue. Then again, I have a stock mechanical on mine with no issues.. yet....

I have the same clear glass filter with the cartridge that can be quickly replaced.  I also have the el-cheapo Mr. Gasket fuel pump that's been on there for 7 or 8 years.  As soon as I get back from Wichita Falls I'll replace it with the Holley blue. 

Where's a good place in Dallas to get the forward/reverse cable & what am I going to spend?  The cable is good, the outer sleeve broke at the crimp by the nozzle, can it be re-crimped? :huh:

If you want to buy the cable local try West Marine or ET Automotive in Garland.  You just need to know the length.  They are relatively inexpensive.  Much better solution is to buy a new one rather than trying to fix that one.

West Marine originally said they have the cable in stock for $35, but when I dropped by to pick it up it's the wrong cable.  West Marine can order for $95, ET Automotive doesn't have it.

I'm not sure if it's a "Marine" carburator, James, and I'm pretty sure it will not bolt up to a 4150 flange.  All that I read tells me you do not need that much carb on your application. If you were planning on spinning the motor harder, maybe, but the RPM range you are going to be operating in calls for an 850 MAX.  Just Saying.  The offer still stands on the loan.

I can't find the post of the guy that found all the rot and water in the belly of his boat, but this may be another option. If someone could pass it on to him.

Hey Jim, you posted the email link rather than the ad.
