With no response from the community, I ordered a new thermostat with gasket along with a new pressure control valve with spring and grommet. Will install early next week. My question now is: If there is water coming out of the pee hole at a good clip, does that mean that the cylinder head is getting good cooling?

OK I was thinking the FCC mandates channel 9 on VHS an are also operating at the same frequency as CB radios channel 9 both are emergency channels. so your saying VHS usually on water won't connect w/ CB thats usually on land & CBs only connect to CB an VHS only only connects w/VHS?

I had an opportunity to look at another prov and every fuse was 10amps or 5amps. Previous owner must not have cared if he had the right fuses or not.

Human: I have a 1994 Chaprarral 2130 Sport that I bought new and have kept it in my garage ever since I took delivery.

If its the audio warning horn, then it sounds like the wiring in the dash has gotten loose (maybe). reconnect battery and then find the horn, if its going off - if its standard mercruiser stuff, it (the horn) should have a purple wire (likely from one of the instruments and a tan/blue wire with a bullet connector. sep...

Thanks for the response. I've managed to siphon most of the fuel out of the tank. There is a little I can't get. But hopefully clean gas will help run it out. Gonna take carb off tomorrow and do the lines. Plugs as well as they are black. If anything else comes out of it I will post

Human: Hi Bought an OEM rectifier for a 1984 Johnson 3 cylinder 70 HP outboard recently. Its outputting 15.8volts on high recs, blowing bulbs, gauges and probably damaging battery.

After market -----CDI----has a rectifier / regulator for that motor.	After market -----CDI----has a rectifier / regulator for that motor.	Get a factory harness with the appropriately colored wires...its the only way to go if you want to sell it in the future...not only are the colors important but you will find the copper under the insulation is not readily available at your favorite big box store...
