I’m in. Thanks for all you do….

Thanks Nick, That eases my mind a bit.

Yep Loren, I’d be happy with a positive report. Would make life a lot easier for me but unfortunately I’m at the mercy of an unknown yard. Which brings me here.

Christian, I agree that’s exactly why I come to this forum.

Thanks S. I’m fine with slow I’m even good with expensive as long as the workmanship is good. Taking her up to Canada is a compilation I’m trying to avoid but thanks for the info. I’m just trying to decide whether or not to stay with this company or no before I have to commit once the engine...

Thanks Loren, i realize that many folks are reluctant to share negative or positive thoughts about particular service providers. That said, I don’t know how to get any information one way or the other, as of now I’m just going on some negative dock scuttle butt. I could post my personal email...

Thanks Loren, Sea Marine was the shop recommendation for the sale by the beta distribution folks for the west coast so that’s who I went with but I’m a little nervous about the install. They haven’t been very responsive. I paid the deposit for this engine four months ago.

Found the spring in the parts book I think it's the decompression spring. Now the question is does anyone know what position that lever is supposed to be in? If it can be described?

I have good crank. I have changed filter and have bled air from system up to the knurled knob getting a good flow. I'm thinking at least one cylinder would fire I get nada. two things I don't know if they are relevant. One is that there is an arm bracket at the rear of the engine looking aft...

Sure thanks my email is glazier718@gmail.com

Hey Tin, is there a version of this schematic someplace in the site that I can enlarge and print it? Dan

Gentleman, This is such a useful conversation. It may be covering old ground but there are a lot of things in this thread that are looked at from different perspectives then the former conversations that are so helpful. It's clearing up a lot of questions I had in my head. Now if I could just...
