I have been given a "cheap" diesel generator made from china. It starts alright, but seems to be reving very high and poping and spitting until it has ran for a while. It surges some times as well. I don't really like it much and haven't used it to power anything other then to load test it a bit. I have checked the motor and all it has is a simple governor on it with no adjustments? I am not sure even where to start adjusting anything on this. Any body have one of these and same problem? Please I was given it, I would like to get a little service out of it , not just junk it... Fuel, oil, air filter are all new....so? help?

Someone put a tilt on this outboard, it original was a manual tilt. All the lock downs are gone nothing locks the motor to the bottom trim bar. .I can tilt the motor down until it stops on the bar . Question is, will the motor come up on it's own under power? Kick back? or is the tilt on this also the trim depending on where you set the bar. Can one raise or lower this unit under power to affect the trim of the boat. I know this sounds stupid, but i have never used one of these units, and would like a brief explain , if it's both.

the blower motor works, i have vac coming to the bottom of the heater core where it attachs. What happens is i can get about 2 seconds of proper direction from the blower, then it shuts, I can hear the blower fan , but nothing comes out anywhere. I think the blower door control is shot, Anybody drop the heater box and replace this? or was there something other then what i am thinking?

It's has a slow leak. I have a new one. Any body change one on this model? Do i have to drop the bell housing in order to repair it? I am asking because my Haynes book was no help . I have only had a brief look at it, and don't know how it is mounted. The truck is a two wheel drive manual of course.

Was given this model of bow trolling motor since i fish. Person giving it say "he used it twice, but didn't fish". Meaning he used his boat just for tubing, knee boarding and the like. It's in factory fresh condition and works, but I have been pulling what's left of my hair out trying to find a manual, or info on it. Motor guide, Mercury, brunswick web sites where no help. Any body have one of these beasts?

I have a 1989 evinrude 30. Got the flywheel off ,and can clearly see the timer and stator. Now, i need to know how the stator FRAME, is attached to the power head. I know about the screws holding the parts on, what's under the Frame? how do i get it off the power head? Is it just a fiction fit? It's loose and hitting the flywheel, again what holds it on the power head?

I pulled out the water pump grommet that feeds the power head by accident. It is a 1989 evinrude 30 hp..... Can i feed A new one up there with the copper pipe, or do i have to tear down the power head to put it back....sigh...dumb i know, but it just pulled out when i removed the lower case....

Been waiting to try this one out. It is in very good shape for it's age. I have pegged it at 87ish? to early 90's. Hard for me to tell. It's has been started and run in a tank and with the old clamp and garden hose already. Wasn't much cleaning setting or anything. Sounds great, but....can't seem to find anyone who has one one of these units for long. Get answers from...dump it to evinrude gotta be good.... has someone run one of these units? anybody? comments on problems is what i am looking for. Is this thing a dog or a champ?

30 hp evinrude on the back of a beefy old 14.5 fiberglass boat. Nice easyloader trailer. When the motor is down about 3 inches to the ground. So i tow it in the up motor up..... I been poo pooed by a few people that i will wreck the boat doing this.....I figure that towing with it up is better then smashing it on the highway or speed bump . Am i right? I am a new boater...

Last weekend was a balmy one for april , plus 23 c or around 80ish f. . I test ran my 30 merc outboard , with the old garbage can trick. It ran well. Not using my brain, I cleaned up the garbage can, watched the water drain out of the leg, and left the motor in the down posistion.

This weekend it went down to minus 18c . I am worried sick i have broken the motor open will what ever water that was left over in this motor, or broke the water pump or whatever is in there for water cooling.

Not knowing much about outboards, and not been able to fire it back up and see if any damage has been done, is it possible that any water that was left over from this wasn't enough to do engine damage?

anyone else that has done this to a 30hp merc?

Bought a older boat that came with a 30hp merc on the back. Not even sure of the year of it. Think it is the late 80 or early 90 prehaps. Looks new, even under the cowling is very clean. All i been able to do is put it into a garbage can and fire it up. It starts almost right away without any starter run on. Shifts into gear smoothly. Problem is after idling for a few minutes , it kind of burps and quits like a misfire. starts right up again. Before you ask, i am sure it needs some tlc. But is this model even worth the effort to get it idling better? or just a old motor that should be put to pasture? I \could buy a much newer motor, more power and better gas ect.....but if this one is even so-so on power, ect....why not run it out? plus also the cost factor of buying a new motor . I need to know if anyone has run one of these... buythe way..it will be pushing a 14 foot fiberglass some what deep hull..and pretty heavy .phew...thanks!

I had a 6.2 that used to cycle like carzy on a cold start. Now i have been up graded to a newer 6.5 in a 94...it comes one very briefly like 3 seconds, and won't come back on til i turn the key back off and on....is this normal on the newer 6.5 turbo diesels ? I hope not, and just have to replace the timer...any body know this answer and own one of these beasts?

New at a 6.5 turbo diesel. I want to change out the old filter on this. A plastic nut, no problem. Went to turn it off, won't budge. Got the bright idea i would use A oil filter strap, not the band type, but strap type. Didn't work after I busted my knuckle a few times. Any easy way to get this thing off? I really don't want to bust up the old nut as there is a real lack of parts locally...

Where is the air filter on this setup? Any body have a part # ?

I own a 1985 silverado with a 6.2 and 4 speed auto th400 ? transmisson. It's been out twice. Once for a adjustment, and two years ago for a front seal.

It's has been great for me as I have over 478,000 kms on it.

I have changed the filter and oil always every year.

Now to the question. I pull a 26 foot 5th wheel, and work the truck pretty hard between drive and overdrive. And yes it spends a whole lot of time in drive. I want to hear from somebody that owns the same truck setup, find out if i am really starting to push my luck, or it they find as long as you keep it serviced, it will go far.

And yes it been updated.

Thanks

I owned this car very very briefly in 1967....help on the motor cubic inch. I say it had a 273 v-8 in it....my bro says a 318. I am stuck....did dodge make a 273? am i dreaming? lol The car was totaled by been stolen, so i can't recall much, as i had it only a few weeks.

Can a old style detroit diesel 4-53 be put into a chev pickup? anybody done this?

I need to know the weight of a 1985 chev c10 6.2 diesel.

The white tag on the door and other tags that would tell me are long gone. Please be close, but don't have to be extermly accturate. without 300 or 400 lbs. I am cheaping out on this, don't want to drive to the local scale and pay them. So don't suggest please. Thanks! By the way GM is no help on this one, was surprised i had a 85 .

I have bought this Truck with a 305 liter TBI . It runs horrible. Surges up and down, stalls, idles very high.

Things i have done to try to correct it.

1. new fuel/air filter

2 new cap/rotor

3 New anti frezze/flush system

4 clean TBI with spray cleaner

5 good fuel add.

6 oil change

The motor in here only has 14,000 miles. good compression, never abused.

Any thoughts? Vac? ecm? fuel pump?

Would anybody know where the pump is? is it in the tank?

I love the power this truck has when it runs, but it is driving me crazy.

Help?
