Part 3

[@nasanction]

I'm getting ready to do the same thing with a Murc 4.3L V6 In a 88' Cris Craft. I'm feeling optimistic! Thanks guys!

[@ericneering6357]

Yeah, what I normally do is get a spray bottle full of two cycle and spray it down in there

[@nomadictraveller8580]

Awesome video so glad she fired up

[@RuggedWrench]

I couldn’t believe it 🤷‍♂️

[@brianmeyer9884]

Congrats Guys. Keep up the great work.

[@RuggedWrench]

Thank you

[@josephkumor5452]

Hell yeah brother good video

[@RuggedWrench]

Thank you 👍

[@GoldenCroc]

You guys didnt do too bad, everything considered. I am sure you will have it running pretty soon. Oh, and since you found it funny you got some viewers from abroad, I am from scandinavia. Cheers.

[@RuggedWrench]

I love it 👍👍 thank you for the encouragement

[@bxbmbr766]

Great video

[@RuggedWrench]

Thanks 👍

[@robertbowen6610]

I would have just cut the belt Im not even going to finish watching this now

[@RuggedWrench]

🤷‍♂️🤔

[@avioncamper]

Great it runs, carb look shot, add some fresh plugs and oil. Hope the stern drive works.

[@RuggedWrench]

We are in the process of looking for a carb at the moment. It is shot!

[@ericneering6357]

The 228 is a 305 instead of working on it. You’d be better off to get a crate engine and put it in there from three-quarter ton pick up truck or camper special like I did. They say you can’t do it but I’m going on like nine years.

[@scimi7994]

Awesome, Before you run it again, try get the drive trimmed down or you'll wreck the UJ's 👍

[@RuggedWrench]

Yep that’s one of the reasons we didn’t run it long. The trim motor is shot. 🤷‍♂️

[@tremorist]

The engine is one thing, but when you look at the condition of the rest of the boat, be prepared for a shitton of more work and sinking quite the amount of money into it(always more than initially calculated). I bought a run down 30 ft canal cruiser and it took me the weekends of two years to bring her back to presentable/liveaboard condition. And it wasn't even my first boat. Boats are treacherous.

[@RuggedWrench]

Yes it has been quite a project 👍 but it has been fun.

[@davidsdean]

Spray down everything with some PB Blaster and let it sit for some hours

[@RuggedWrench]

👍

[@janicekbritt534]

Ha guys that's a hornets nest not a wasp nest.

[@janicekbritt534]

20:58 21:03

[@RuggedWrench]

I’m not sure I know the difference 🤷‍♂️ either way I’m glad it was empty

[@matthewsmith7319]

Give that carb a few taps with the persuader

[@RuggedWrench]

😂😂👍

[@ericneering6357]

Oh, he drives me crazy. I just keep screaming. Put two stroke 50 to 52 stroke. Pour it down.

[@johncatania7712]

Derek from VGG usually uses a Gatorade bottle that has the sport top

[@RuggedWrench]

True 👍😂

[@lamarw7757]

With some two stroke oil, for the cylinder walls. That carb cleaner is washing the oil out of the cylinders.

[@raycasson1774]

An 8 lb.marine grade hammer might work to get her goin..lol

[@RuggedWrench]

😂👍

[@bikerboy674]

That wrench in the carb. 😬

[@RuggedWrench]

😂 it was holding the carb open

[@alansmith5939]

Finally gasoline! If those cylinders and rings had lube they don’t now.

[@RuggedWrench]

We thought of that after a while 🤷‍♂️

[@terryayers7549]

your destroying the wiper rings on the piston with that brake clean.

[@RuggedWrench]

👍 I remembered that somewhere along the line. That’s why I switched to 2 cycle gasoline

[@curtbrown9702]

Why do people think that carb cleaner is flammable. If it was it would be called EITHER. CARB - BREAK CLEAN NOT UNLESS OPEN FLAME

[@RuggedWrench]

I have run many engines on 2+2 carb cleaner. It works great. Our problem was weak spark.

[@Roper-wn1xu]

first

[@RuggedWrench]

👍

[@rambow58]

I want a inboard but damn they look so complicated it’s a whole different game then outboard

[@RuggedWrench]

I like the inboards better 🤷‍♂️ they are very similar to a car

[@GoldenCroc]

Pretty much a car engine, but its the things that isnt like exhaust and outdrive stuff that can get expensive...

[@robertbowen6610]

It’s not as bad as you think

[@rambow58]

Planning to get one next year. I’ll enjoy the outboard for now

[@lindadexter3111]

Is a boat moter the same as a car motor?

[@RuggedWrench]

Very similar.

[@dougcharles5004]

Will it float 🤔

[@RuggedWrench]

We shall find out 🤷‍♂️

[@user-yh9hm2zq9w]

Your belts were stopping your engine cos of rust

[@RuggedWrench]

👍

[@joeconstantino7471]

its turning because it wasnt that bad....like all you guys say when you do these kings of vids...make it sound harder then it is jesus...every single one

[@RuggedWrench]

🤔

[@wayneriffeii8939]

Carb cleaner is not a good starting fluid

[@RuggedWrench]

👍

[@zeke5491]

Many a bay is lined with these cheaply made vessels, thus the name 😅

[@RuggedWrench]

🤔 we are going to hope ours will stay on top of the water 😁

[@jeremygreig5455]

TIMING!

[@RuggedWrench]

The timing was good. It was a bad condenser in the distributor 🤷‍♂️

[@jamesallen712]

anything else you can do that your not supposed to on this? Well, you might as well be consistent.

[@RuggedWrench]

😂👍
