I bought a book on q jet carbs. They are fairly simple just need to be complete and get a kit that goes for your carbie. Buy the book Rochester quadrajet carburetors by cliff ruggles. He also sells kits etc. It is very important to have the correct power piston spring so the engine will not idle ric...

I miss Aaron too was looking forward to sharing my Mid-Cabin Foibles with him. RIP Aaron.

on my f28 bottom clean and fresh engines. I am banking on the 14x9s making a good difference.

I have an F28 with twin 318s and it has, I believe the orginal 14x11. As I had a parts f28 I had two extra props and had them cut back to 14x9. I had the same problem and hope this fixes it. I have not tried the 9s yet but looking forward to your or my results.

Wonder could we save those charts here on our web site. I notice one is a jpg and the a png. Would be nice to have a copy of the originals available on website tech.

I think this is a Johnson 35. Didn't they come with an attachment towards the rear that looked like handles which was for setting the engine on the hard when it was off the boat, as these were outboards that could be moved boat to boat? I think these engines were seen in the late 50s early 60s.

I got lucky with on rudder on old scrap F28, came right out. Not so much for other one. Just cut cross boards, top bearing came out easy on each. Second one used the old reciprocating saw and cut a whole in bottom of old boat and guess what if fell out. :D Then in shop used press to push the shaft o...

Paul I do not think the 4 blades would help as they are 20x19 if I take 2 inches pitch out I am at 20x17 with 4 blades. Me thinks would be worse than now.

She is a sweety!

I have an 84 tri cab which is probably different than yours. I have 3 bilge pumps front, engine compartment, and at stern equipment area. The three are originally installed. There should be two drains (called garboard drain) that have a standard bronze square head plug screwed in. One in front and o...

Can only go up or down 2 inches pitch. See what the cslc says.

I am going to do the calcs per this book which according it can be pretty accurate. I agree less pitch for sure, however these props are spendy so cannot just try one after the other. The bigger diameter the proper the more efficient if you have not over pitched it. I am pretty sure when it is said ...

Paul I think they are 1.91 to one but will check next time at lake, it is on the tranny tag

thanks, Mine is way too slow.

Way we go, What speed does she go at WOT and 4k rpm?
