Welcome aboard Muttley! It's nice to have you with us. :thumb: You'll have to tell us about boating in Australia. :) -Chris

Well it's an awesome pic! You should enter that one in the Cottage Life picture contest they have each year. If you've got some more good ones, post 'em up and we'll refresh the entrance page a little. :) -Chris

Time for some Sidewinder pics! Share the luv brother. :thumb: -Chris

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing. :) Sammie's still floating around and still helping Checkmate fanatics whenever he can. ;) :thumb: -Chris

Looks great Will. :thumb: What do you guys have as far a spray gun set up goes? :) -Chris

Sounds good. :) -Chris

Hey CS, nice to see you back working on it, thanks for posting your pics. :thumb: Did your boat originally have any transom knees? I know a lot of the guys who redo performance boats often will build in, or build up the transom knees if it has any. That might be something you might want to...

Great pics guys! Keep 'em coming! Will, the way the flake is done on your boat, reminds me a lot of a friends boat that they had back in the late 70's early 80's. Their 70's Trimate also had a red and black flake fade similar to yours as well. What theirs did, was inside the boat, the flake...

Hi Bill, Welcome aboard, it's nice to have you with us. :thumb: If you want to send me a private message, I'll help you get your name fixed up. :) -Chris

Awesome! I'm hoping once the ice is out at the cottage, perhaps I'll do up a video myself of a ride on our lake. You guys have inspired me to give the movie making deal a try! :) -Chris

More awesome stuff. :thumb: Thanks Will! :) -Chris

That sounds like a classic symptom of a carb that needs cleaning. As Will said, if the gas is old, or if it was sat in the motor it will go bad and foul the carb. -Chris

Awesome videos Will! :) Thanks for sharing. I believe these might just help me cope until spring! :thumb: -Chris

Hey Guys, I was thinking of changing up the front entrance pic. Poor Chris E.'s kid is probably in college by now! :D So here's your big chance to have your boat grace the front page of the site for a bit. If you would like to nominate a pic please post it in this thread and we'll see if we...

Will, do you have any videos of the inline running? Gawd I love the sound of those tower of powers! :devil: One of the best motors ever and definitely the best sounding. :thumb: -Chris

I ordered if from Mike Combs. Sorry for the rather delayed response. :yikes: :) -Chris

Tubs work well actually. Better than muffs as the motor is actually in water. Whenever I get stumped, I always go back to basics. You said it has good compression, so it's most likely either fuel, air or ignition related. So what I would do is pick one and eliminate each as you go...

That's a great site, your set up isn't exactly like that one though is it? I wish I had a manual for the later models so I could help more. Is there a way you can observe when each plug fires and where the pistons are at the time? The guy on that website shows you how to do it. I've done...

I know I've referred to this site quite a few times for help. It's obviously a slightly different set up than yours is, but it has lots of good info. http://www.outboard-boat-motor-repair.com/johnson/Evinrude%20Johnson%205.5%20HP%201954-1964%20Ignition%20System%20Tune-up.htm Have you tried...
