    Anyone running classic (old) two cycle outboards?

    Smart man going through it before ever hitting the switch. I soaked the pistons while I replaced water pump and a complete new fuel system from tank to carburetors. It didn’t have a fuel filter of any kind on it. Now it’s got a fuel water separator and the oem filter under the cowling. I would...

    Anyone running classic (old) two cycle outboards?

    My tank is plastic but it has a manual vent screw. The new ones don’t. They supposed to self vent after they hit 5psi. They swell up like a balloon. Some have sprayed gas out. A lot of people get their carburetors flooded so bad the fuel just leaks through the outboard and into the water. The...

    Welcome to the 2 stroke smoke club. EPA is trying but these 2 strokes are stout and will be around a long time if treated right. If you’re going to run a portable fuel tank your going to love what they did to those. I still have a tank from the 80’s I run.

    I’ll unload and start mine then let it warm up tied to the dock while I park real quick. Walking down to it I can smell it.

    Anyone running classic (old) two cycle outboards?

    He still gets donuts for breakfast every now and then. I’m still not finished. I just finally got to a stopping point so I can use it and run the motor. I’m rebuilding a casting deck with more storage on the bow and I haven’t painted it yet. It had corrosion under the old floor because someone...

    Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum. I have a 2016 F150 3.5 Ecoboost which I purchased over two years ago. My first turbo engine ever. Just before having it a whole year it went to the dealership and they tore it down. Fixed all the common issues I had found out about the engine. Turbos ...

    Anyone running classic (old) two cycle outboards?

    I just finished rebuilding a 1984 16’ extra wide flat bottom with a 1992 40hp Yamaha 2 stroke. I basically drug it out of a field. The Yamaha didn’t have a single filter anywhere in the fuel line. So I built a fuel system that starts with a portable tank with premix 2stroke none ethanol fuel and...
