Yes I’m waiting on the parts bus now. All my gaskets and rebuild stuff has arrived, but still waiting on the pistons and sleeves, as well as the flywheel.
Had some snow over night so it’s pretty but paused up here another week probably..

Yea, working near the shop door with a fan to my back!
Found that some combustion chamber cleaner I have dissolves that thick, gooey congealed oil and old gas fast in the bowls. Filled those and every passage with it last night. also stinky stuff.
Hopefully have these rinsed, blown, and mounted to-day! I had forgotten about working on outboards.
20 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag!

What is that? Looks like the flour mill near your house must have blown up!

Global warming I guess. But pretty to look at.
To me, just a typical changing spring snow storm. Cold front rolled in and bam, winter is back. But just for a week I reckon. Back up into the teens next week temp wise.

About done here. Back on with all new fuel hoses. Original clamps were tie-wraps.

I was watching the Lightning vs Canadiens game last night. It had been snowing there in Montreal all day. Meanwhile it was 80° in Tampa.
