    anyone know what causes misfires?

    The condition of the plugs will give you a hint as to whether all the cylinders are firing. If you've got wet ones, that could mean that those plugs aren't firing all the time, or at all. I always look for differences between them. Have you checked the compression? The timing chain/belt I...

    anyone know what causes misfires?

    Unfortunately, the cause could be from numerous things. It can be igntion related, timing related, fuel related, or even computer related. What I usually do first with that type of problem, is that I pull each of the spark plugs and see if what kind of shape they're in. I would...

    Checkmate video

    Great videos. The kids look like they're having a blast, that's always important. I'm going to have to listen to your Merc a few times this winter, to get me through 'til spring! :D The river section is pretty neat. How deep is the water? It reminds me of some of those crazy Australian...

    sidewinder boats

    Hi Pierre, They're not really manufactured anymore. I think there was/is someone who recently built a few from the old moulds, but I don't think they are really doing any rebuilds or replacement parts. I'm sure the guys on Coop's site could help. http://sidewinder-boats.com Let us...

    NHL 2010-2011 Season Discussion Thread

    I sure hope the Leafs do better too. I think they'll make the playoffs, but I'm probably the only one and I'm probably dreamin'. I'm not sure if they've got the guys right now to make the playoffs, but I think Burke will pick up a few more guys early in the season that will get them in...

    John, If the Jets come back to the 'Peg, would you be cheering? Or would you stick with cheering for the 'Oil? Cool story about Quintin. :thumb: -Chris

    The regular season is right around the corner! :bounce: The Leafs seem to be a bit better this year, with the new additions they've made. Hopefully they'll make the playoffs this year, but hope springs eternal as the saying goes. Anyone else a hockey fan? If so, what team are you...

    2010 Toronto International Boat Show Coverage

    The early January show is the one that we usually go to. There is also the in-water boat show in the summer as well - but I doubt you're going to give up a weekend at the cottage to go to that one. ;) -Chris

    1972 Steury v518

    Try to stick to marine waxes if you can that are designed for fibreglass. They are designed to work with gelcoats. It's not that the others don't work, they do, just not very well sometimes, as in they don't hold up very well and some also don't let the gel coat breathe properly or can cause the...

    1972 Steury v518

    Well, that's a loaded question! Ask a hundred boating enthusiats and you'll probably get as many passionate answers. I guess the right answer depends on the condition of the gel. If the gel is really oxidized, you'll want to get some kind of compound that will cut the gel a bit. Then...
