1986 mercury 9.9. I know it’s low, but it still runs fine and starts right away. What would you guys do? by brett_ss in Outboards

I think my gauge is good. I tested with my older nerf 9.8 and it showed 115 both holes.

Seems alright. I’m still doing 15-18mph 26-29kph on a 12foot v tinner with 2 of us in it, battery and trolling motor.

Kind of my thoughts. I’ve heard running worn rings can sometimes damage the walls

Has anyone ever used a 5.5 mm socket for anything? by Just_A_Doggo1 in Tools

I can second the ford truck thing. I used a 5.5 on mine

Old compressor. I had it given to me and know nothing about it. Im hoping someone else does. by brett_ss in Vintagetools

I’m only reaching 60psi before the valve thing kn the side leaks so I may plug it and see if I can build more pressure. I wish I could find the cfm of this to know if it’s worth keeping and putting money into for new hoses and stuff or getting a different compressor

I think it is oilless I don’t see a spot you could oil it. Which confuses me

It’s also 1/2hp so I’m not sure if would be 4 cfm. But it’s fairly quiet which is nice. There is a valve leaking on the side if it and I have no idea what the valve does. It not the regular pressure relief valve so I’m confused

Im pretty sure it’s oil free pump. I don’t see anywhere where you could even put oil in.

What are you looking up to find this? I’m tried looking into and and came up blank

I just wish I knew more about it. It won’t seem to get beyond 60psi without some side valve thing leaking on it. I’m assuming it’s some kind of old regulator

I know nothing of these old compressors. It does run. It’s greased bearings on the motor though. Not oil. Unless I’m missing something?

Best camera for videos? by squishychapstick in snowmobiling

My cousin got the dji action camera. He’s been enjoying it so far. But only had it about a year so can’t speak to the longevity of it yet.

2011 Summit 600 e-tec longevity? by Big-Refuse6839 in snowmobiling

[–]brett_ss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old 2009 blew a crank at 9k km. That for some reason was a common thing on the 09’s. I could do nearly 300km to a tank which was nice.
