Jet Pumps / Place diverter trim gauge
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:21:38 PM »
Did anyone put on a trim gauge?    I was just wondering if anyone came up
with a trim gauge sender for the place diverter.   12JE Berk.

I saw the expensive one but I'm wondering if anyone came up with an
alternative.

I'll try the hand cleaner.  I have some steel wool and soap but I don't think it stands a chance.
I'm trying everything you guys can come up with.
I really appreciate your ideas, I'm out.

The only thing I could think of would be a super cleaning.   If that doesn't help and you wouldn't keep the steering wheel anyway try the interior dye clear coat.  I have no idea how that would work
it's just a thought.

If it's aluminum polish it.  If it's rusted steel try to polish it.   If it's SS then you can polish it  ;D
I'm assuming you're talking about the middle?

It sure would be nice if the sun shined it awat  ;D   I tried thinner, no good.
I'll try the dawn tomorrow.  Full strength or cut it?

This is really getting to be a PIA

I really need help  :banghead:

Pick up a battery load tester and you'll never wonder about a battery again.  Yours does sound
like a battery giving up.
I got a cheap big ass walmart  battery for mine 3 years ago.  Starts just fine and still reads strong on the tester.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Do you have to use a teleflex water temp sending unit on a Teleflex gauge?
« on: May 09, 2010, 08:25:54 PM »
I just got the same gauges.  My oil pressure wasn't  right so I ordered the sender from them.
It showed 80 psi shut off.   I started it just to see what happened.   It read the 80 psi then I let it stall with the key still on, it read 65 psi with the engine stopped.

 Haven't had a chance to drop it in the water to find out about the water temp.  Let us know how you make out with that part.

I'd get the starter tested.  Sometimes with a rebuild the trouble comes with it.   :banghead:

What's the pink stuf?  I didn't get the magic erasers yet but I have thrown everything at it in the garage right down to rag top cleaner and tar remover....  I'm not making much head way here!

HELP!

I always put old floor mats on the ski deck of my boat then put on 2x4's etc to support the cover
during the pa winters.
I pulled the cover and there is a stain in the form of one of the floor mats!
It looks like rust but there must have been a chemical reaction or god knows what.
It was NOT wet under there and rubber doesn't rust.  I've been doing it this way since 1977 and this is
the first time anything like this has happend.   I'll never use a tan floor mat again!
Does anyone know of anything to remove it or am I doomed to have it redone.

They were the original manifolds on the 70's Glastron jets.   They did have a flapper.   I went
to the long bolt manifolds myself.  I did however have no choice since I went with a stud girdle and needed tall valve covers.  I don't know who made them.
Look at the hoses on the old engine, the entrance is the top right of the timing cover.  Exit to the manifolds
was from the thermostat housing.  The small bypass hose was to keep water going to the manifolds when the t-stat  would close.
You are right on with your hoses.  That set up showed more temp swing than the logs at least on my jet.

It looks like it was on right, sure has the look of being soft aluminum where the cup area opened up.
What brand were the rockers?  Pro Crap?

I'm using the comp cams pro magnum or what ever they called it.   With the stud girdle
they are very nice rockers.

I'm curious as to what brand lifter they are.  I would like to make sure I don't
get one.   Good luck, I hope it lasts for you.

Sounds to me like you have a bad solenoid.  They can meter out right but not carry
current.  An ohm meter won't allways tell the whole story.  The fact that it
completes a circuit when it shouldn't is another reason I believe that it's bad.

I'm an industrial electrician and I say the above based on a guess from what you described.
Without seeing a print of your circuit that's the best I can do.

Good luck   :)

Will the fuel bowl vents pop out to remove the choke plate?   
Are they just pressed in or are they in to stay pressed in?

There are some china cheap ss bolts out there.  If I were you I'd take a little magnet
along and see if the SS bolts stick.   If they do don't buy them.
