Re: Carb Adjustments

Re: Carb Adjustments

Re: Carb Adjustments

Re: Carb Adjustments

Is the power valve on the Demon the same as a Holley generally? I replaced the needle and seat last week, and set the float level mid way up the sight glass with the boat in the water. I did not...

Re: Carb Adjustments

I have 1" spacers between the carbs and the power plus hurricane high rise single plane intakes installed. Is there any need for the spacers? Are they really doing anything especially with an intake...

Re: bottom paint

I used Petit Vivid bottom paint on my Stinger. Bright white multi-season paint. Looking at the boat you can't tell it's painted. Paint comes in several different colors and they can be blended to...

Re: Carb Adjustments

If it was the quality of the fuel causing my problem, would'nt the stbd engine be running terrible as well? They both draw from the same tank. There also was very little of the older fuel in the...

Re: Stinger 390 verse Top Gun?
