What does this mean??? need tech help
 

I decided that 40ish is nice enought to take the cat for a spin.. so we are winging along through the no wake zone in downtown toledo and here is a bright orange boat.(oppps). so after that we get out in lake erie.. rough as hell and the motors are running about 6000 rpm... then there is an annoying ticking that got louder, then 1 motor is @ 6k and the other at 5k, then 4 k then 3k then 0.. Hmmmmm so I hit the starter.. CLUCK, CLUNK.. so we ran about 50mph back in on 1 motor,, is it possible that I might have a clogged filter?? or maybe a bad ground??/ I know there is no way I can get fired AND blow up the boat..???

Everytime my girlfriend blew up her cakemixer she just went to Kmarts and bought a new one !!!!:D

:eek: :eek:

Probably not this..but....I ran an old Mariner once at 4600 rpms for about 10 min strait...wot, and then lost all power, hit starter and it went clunk....Top of piston came off:eek: :eek: :eek:

Its Time for

And with all the experience you can now
land a job in a field we all enjoy :D

I had the same problem one year in my triple turbine boat.
After hours of thinking about the problem I decided to call my local AUTO parts store for some Muffler Bearing's, But my shop took 4 weeks to install, It was very costly, but what the heck give that a try..

Good Luck:eek:

Muffler bearings? Dosent sound like it, I would check your piston springs.

Which boat? the Sanger?

NO NO NO you guys are all wrong its the chrome go faster bolt that fell out. Just tighten it up and everything will be all OK. Hey give it an extra 1/2 turn and you will gain that extra 5 MPH that you have been wanting.

You obviously accidently swapped the port and starboard dipsticks. Just swap them back.:D :D

Hey Packin'....
now you know why you got laid off.... so you could work on the boat!!!:eek: No really, that's what you get for skippin' out on your other "major freak out thread" while we are all busy roasting you!!

Sorry about your troubles man, I been there too. :(

check drive had it happen 1 time thought motor locked up sounded real bad , pulled drive fired right up. something in drive let go started w/lite knock ended in thud

If this is really an outboard as 26 scarab illuded to, then I know exactly what it is. There is a little warning sticker on the flywheel that the corner peeled up on.............while it's spinning around, it's hitting the case.

Just peel it off ;) :D :D

Sorry had to.........just winterized the fishin boat w/ the outboard

Hope you get it straightned out soon

I think Doug has a big bump on his head as well

With muffler bearings???

And flatulator valve connected to the muffler bearings that are part of the sub-atomic regenerator.

The turbo cybernetic homoginator may need to be topped off with blinker fluid........or the glove box metering valves may be missing..... :rolleyes:

:D

whatever it is i know one thing.......IT WON'T BE CHEAP !

definitely won't be cheap

HUH-OH
 

Wally just called you a HOMO:D :D :D

packin: I'm wondering how you didn't kill yourself in that sanger on erie yesterday @6000 rpm. we had 3-5ers yesterday?

we were charging out to the harbor light and was right about at the radar bouy.. yea, it was alittle choppy:D you ahould go for a ride in that ****... just ask glassdave or tizbad

it's the damm fetzer valve !!!! :rolleyes:
your gonna need some pliers, and some
40 weight ball bearings, and some anti freeze,
preferrably prestone, no wait, quaker state,
this should do it.
and when you get all done with that,
charge it to the underhills account.
good luck,
irwin r. fletcher

and remember, bad things happen in three's:eek:

Scott,
If I recall your running outboards also?

Sounds like ya got some Shoreline wrapped around the props :D

I thought this was a joke thread with running a boat back at 50mph on the single engine. I may have lead some of you wrong my muffler bearing are still in good shape in the turbines.

Doug:D

chrome gofaster bolts, swaped dipsticks and glove box metering valves......i am pissing my pants laughing at this stuff.....HAHAHAHAHAHAA:D :D :D :D

My bet is that the giggly pin fell out of the laughy shaft and got stuck behind the wobbly poppet ;)

Did someone put a baseball card by the spokes (oops, I mean props)...............

Maybe, he ran out of places to put the Morgan so he filled the tank with it thinking he can siphon it out while on the water. Thats not 151 is it??

:D :D Yeah, Call John Cocktostin:D
