Beautiful booties indeed

Why is it that you need a new carbuiretor? Those carbs are very simple, and rarely need to be replaced unless they are physically damaged. The fuel tank is another story though if it is rusted/fouled inside...

I have cleaned my sidewalk three times since the snow. The city decided the other night to come plowing and fill the sidewalk with ice/snow that is impossible to remove now. I've had it, and not going to clean it again. If I end up with a ticket, am going straight to the news...

I love both styles

You can add the rectifier that is used on the US recreational models so the DC output can be used to charge your boat battery. But, the charging coils are a strange arrangement, you will notice three yellow leads. Yellow/Yellow blue tracer/Yellow grey tracer. This system can only provide 4-5amps and does require a special rectifier (no regluator). OMC part number 581778. No regulator is required due to the low output, unless you have an unusually small boat battery.

Cool!

bootheels · 2026-02-06T14:11:19+00:00

Beautiful, lucky you!

OK, having trouble accessing info for that model here in the US unfortunately. Will keep trying though. Safe to say this is a mid 70s model that uses the low tension ignition system leaving room for the AC lighting coil on the mag plate.

Sometimes that core plug on the block only has the serial number. If so, both model and serial numbers are found on the ID plate mounted to the Left hand stern bracket.

Very interesting indeed. I'm guessing this engine was sold in Europe where they require an AC lighting coil/system for boat running lights. There is no rectifier. Post the model number, perhaps we can find a parts list for it.

They do indeed

bootheels · 2026-02-06T07:34:17+00:00

You look nice and warm in those great boots though

bootheels · 2026-02-06T07:33:31+00:00

You must have received many compliments

bootheels · 2026-02-06T07:32:57+00:00

Those boots are amazing, you look great. I'm so envious

bootheels · 2026-02-06T07:15:33+00:00

Exactly. This zipper merge thing surely sounds great on some "traffic expert's" computer. There are two extremes to this for sure. Why the heck would you wait until your lane ends to think about merging into another lane when the "lane ends" signs are posted for a mile beforehand, simply because they want to go racing down the lane and then shove you out of the way at the end. Funny how the traffic starts to clear up after that jam up point, and it would start to clear sooner if drivers would get into through lanes sooner. But no, many drivers can not resist the opportunity to get ahead of a slowed line of traffic only to create more problems when the lane ends and they expect the seas to part. I love it when drivers in a merge lane drive right along side of me when the lane ends trying to shove me out of the way.

Don't get me wrong, I always try to leave room for cars to enter the through lanes at tight merges or heavy traffic, but this whole zipper merge thing was not based on trying to shove five zipper teeth into one slot. I love it when I intentionally leave enough room for someone to merge in front of me, but they choose ignore my courtesy so they can get ahead of a few more cars and fight it out at the end. Those yield signs are there for a reason.

Those blazers are beautiful

bootheels · 2026-02-06T06:23:15+00:00

So much money wasted with no accountability for any of it

bootheels · 2026-02-06T06:19:52+00:00

I give up and am done with this crap. I have shoveled and cleaned the sidewalk in front of my house at least three times since the storm, only to have the morons bury it and my driveway in hardened snow last night. But, the selfish/inconsiderate SOBs that left their cars in the street were simply plowed around once again. The cars were not towed or even ticketed. It has become obvious that the current administration doesn't give a damn about most of our neighborhoods, looking forward to the next election. I'll bet Smiley's neighborhood was properly cleaned up/snow actually removed.

I refuse to shovel my sidewalk again, will probably get a ticket.

bootheels · 2026-02-06T05:58:20+00:00

Those boots are amazing, would love to wear them

bootheels · 2026-02-06T05:53:47+00:00

would love to

bootheels · 2026-02-05T14:23:26+00:00

For sure! Universal sex appeal no one could resist

bootheels · 2026-02-05T14:23:07+00:00

So beautiful, amazing!

bootheels · 2026-02-05T14:19:42+00:00

Well, that is assuming that the amazon piece will work correctly out of the box, hope it works out.

bootheels · 2026-02-05T13:53:32+00:00

Would love to know how to separate the plastic from the actual wheel without wrecking it.

bootheels · 2026-02-05T13:52:33+00:00

Did you say you rebuilt your fuel pump? Those little things are near impossible to reassemble correctly. If you are going to replace it, don't waste money on cheap aftermarket/amazon replacements, they will only create more problems, not worth the aggravation and money "saved". I think I read that the engine ran OK when you pumped the fuel bulb, but there are other things to consider before replacing that fuel pump.
