Re: Stumped - Fuel Delivery Issue

Also the arm on pump can be installed on wrong side of lobe. If that is the case, it will have wear Mark on top side of arm. Most of what I know about boats I learned from drunk people the internet. The rest, trial and error.

Re: 318 ignition system

For what it's worth, I bought a pair of pertronics distributor and coils for my 318s.

Not only first day with boat, first time piloting any boat (first boat was a 14' aluminum Grumman canoe). Rest of trip was a little hairball to say the least. Grea...
