Re: where are windshield washer pumps on international

I looked on mine, I don't have any nozzles or any piping near the electrical panels in the aft cabin locker. I think they must have added them after 1986

Re: where are windshield washer pumps on international

Were they on all Internationals? I'm going to have to look now and see if I have any of these components. How do you activate them and where does the nozzle sit to put water on the window?

Re: Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

Progress! I finally got some time to work on this. First off, the port engine would not run with the STBD Carb. Would not start. I put the port Carb back on (I had only run it in the Stbd Engine for 30 seconds to a minute) Port ran fine. Then I finished my Exhaust elbows and riser job I took the stb...

Re: Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

I pumped 20 gallons of gas out of the tank. I now have a rig to connect to a portable tank. I am trying to get a test run in this week on the portable tank but have to finish some other work as well. I'm not really sure hwo much gas I have remaining in the tank. i suspect that I had more than I thou...

Re: rough seas for a 10 meter

I will second the response regarding rough seas. The hull is very a very stable platform, but there are a lot of variables. File a float plan with someone that will alert authorities if you cannot be reached and do not return on time, Make sure you have redundant radios. bring extra fuel fuilters, r...

Re: Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

Thanks Bob, I actually have Hoses with threaded fittings running from the fuel tank to a spin on filter bracket mounted on the stringer. From there it is hard fuel line to the suction of the Pump (Bypasses old canister filter. and hard fuel line to the carb. (That's from memory, there may be a secti...

Re: Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

Bob,

No crossover connection. If I had them before they have long since been removed. I will try to get to the tank connection and pull it off. Did you climb back on top of the muffler to get to it? Looks a little tight

Re: Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

Update: I changed the spin on filter and I switched the carbs. The engine ran for a few seconds and then started doing the same thing. I can keep in running if I pump the gas on and off. I think it's the accelerator pump on the carb jetting extra fuel. I sprayed carb cleaner around the intake manifo...

Crusader 454 Stalling, barely running

Hi, I have 1985 454's. 350 HP. One of my engines began stalling and had difficulty starting last fall. I'm now trying to get the issue resolved. Basically, the engine will start and run roughly. I believe it is fuel starvation. If I try to throttle, it may rev up but often times it just stalls. I ca...
