i was talking to a guy from south Dakota when on the europe cruise that sells wind mill parts. as he put it they dont work without a big subsidy. he says i make a lot of money selling parts but i hate them. every 5 to 7 years if they were well maintained you rebuilt the gear box the parts are 150k. one bearing was 50k

i was in europe for 10 days in may. for another cruise. got on the boat in bordeaux france. the place they had a peaceful protest by the looks of the cars piled up that were burned along with the tires they burned on the lawn of a goverment building. we were ashore every day all told between cars and motor cycles i counted about 20 that were electric. there was a tesla dealer that had maybe 50. in france there are no solarfarms none that i saw. when i was in the wheelhouse talking to the crew i did see a offshore wind mill farm on radar he pulled it up on the plotter it was quite large. in Belgium the wind mills are everwhere but no solar. the port we tied up in. there big export imp[ort was cars 2.5 million a yr along with equipment. thousands of case new holland and some cat machines. and there was a russian oil tanker docked in france. the world runs on diesel fuel look around besides in your back yard. its not going to change for a long time really long time. half the cars over there are diesel and a lot of cars are manual trans. one of the crew in the wheelhouse is from serbia i asked what he thought of the war in ukraine he said its just the west making money again

for those that say its a game changer.. do you own trucks? drive them? the driver sitting in the center is not new look at a front discharge cement truck. is it a good idea for a concrete truck yes. how many dealers are there? its gonna break when it dose it needs to be fixed quick. and the weight what is it? its all about weight

up here green short tree length ( 25ft) 130 to 140 if you can find some. hard wood pulp price is close to that. as far as klim dried not only dose it dry it but it kills the bugs. the state of maine was taking camp fire wood away from the tourist and replacing it. the emerald ash borer crossed the river from ny to ct on a log truck. 500 ++ in boston sounds about right those libs deserve it. in case anyone asks how they get the wood out of the trailer. its a live floor

was at my dealer yesterday.this is whats he thinks. they have a fix but it has not been approved yet. polaris says the repair will take 2 hrs. and may not include replacing the fuel pump. dealers can not sell new or used sleds. except the 550 fan. this part i kinda expected if you own a sled included in the order and you take it to the dealer for a repair unrelated to this polaris tells him not to return the sled to you

they all had a wood core in the transom some in the stringers also. use a wooden hammer handle to sound the hull. if its soft it will sound different. i would at least reseal the drain plug and any screws for a transducer.. use 3m 5200. if thats a 185 that was rated at the crank not the prop. the cross flow pretty much has the intake and exhaust port across from each other. a high dome on one side of the piston makes it all work. fuel burn wot close to 20 gph? if it turns out you really like the boat look around for a 150 etec. quite no smoke and burn half the fuel

he is not from maine.

this is true but usually ford uses an orifice instead of a expansion valve. it dose the same thing. dose the front ac work well? was the rear a add on or from ford? if a add on it may need more juice . dose the engine fan come on?

i found this from someone that really knows evinrudes it the g2 3cyl with rave

is the tank above the motor?pull the hose off the pump is there fuel? the solenoid in the carb can keep it from starting if bad but it should still pump fuel. it may not fill the filter it may only show a little gas in it. and will run fine. if it hasnt been started in months some of them start hard

fuel pump its just a pulse pump taking its pulse off the valve cover. unless this is a 30 yr old cast iron motor they had a machinal pump

the g 2 150 hp evinrude was a 3 cyl .

so thats sort of a 4 stroke evinrude. well rude lower unit at least

what dose it have for power?

has anyone watched redacted on you tube???
