CQ
You are a lucky fella - Zach fits in the space behind driver seat and between engine and side of boat much better than me  What was the thought behind replacing the distributor cap? |

Hey now Joe did most of the swap CQ.
Greg, the dizzy caps on the 5.7s are notorious for big time corrosion. Both in automotive and marine world. They work perfectly one day then nothing the next. Easy to take a look see or just pull the coil wire and see if spark jumps from the cap to the wire. |

So I'm painting the 351 today. I pulled a plug to crank it to TDC Compression #1 before I pulled the dizzy. The plugs have in the neighborhood of 7-800 hours on them and look new still. I am having a hard time telling myself I need to change them just because I am shooting paint on them. I think I will tape them off :P
Speaking of engines that never need servicing

I tend to put off changing plugs that look good. Unless the porcelain breaks, they don't fail all of a sudden anyway, so change them next year. Or the year after. Or .....

Yes Zach it was better then a Nascar pit stop, you, Joe, Paul, Lewy + Timmy, Chris Adam and a few others wandering around, thanks to all! Greg, like Zach said, caps are a known issue, has put me in the no start zone before also, good thing is the Automotive and Marine version are no different so that can be had at Napa. just saw under $2 gas for the first time here this weekend, too bad my lake is ice and boats are all in hibernation. |

hey now, don't blame me, all I did was watch, I don't turn wrenches on my own boat, I can't afford to pay Zach to fix yours if I break it!

Spoke with Zach - new pump on the way. UPS willing this time tomorrow I will be cursing those darn three bolts and waiting for first light on Wednesday to hit the water for the water test. Perhaps the Mustang will become the 206 tow boat.....

New pump installed, worked great in driveway (flat ground) then no go on the ramp (on an angle) - boat off the trailer and floating all is good. Cycled several times this morning and all seems fine now. Will be launching again leter and will try on the angle again and see what happens.
Zach Thanks for the quick ship. |

If you hadn't cycled the pump enough to fully fill the FCC then it could very well have lead to the on the ramp difficulty. If it happens again I would consider selling it to Donald. (Or changing the lpp relay)

Joe, thanks for looking out for me.  However, since the boat is not 100% the sell will require a huge discount in price. Then I will bring it to White Lake 2015 and beg, once again for the second year in a row, for a team of people to help me fix it. I should be running 100% my mid summer. I love it when a plan comes together.

Gary, Wrenching on a FIRE SELL 206 will keep me awake a night with excitement. Greg has a half ( Split) paddle. I have a complete paddle. Heck, my family will be so happy to have it, we will just paddle around Lake Norman with it not running. We are simple people. Happy New Year, Donald |
