I yanked my dead battery in a hurry and did not take note as to where these 2 wires were connected. Before I start tracing them and figuring out what they are and if they are positive or negative, I thought someone might know here and save me some time. I "think" they came off the negative...

We love our boats or PWC's, we love to play with them. We sometimes take a pic. I just spent a week with mine on vacation in the keys and though there should be a thread where we can post pics of us having fun with them. Other sections on here all we do is trouble shoot them. Here lets show...

Can this be done with the carb in place or does it have to be pulled? I see in the shop manual I have to pull the air box, but was told I had to pull the carb to adjust and that sounds insane to me. I would like to lean the starboard engine out slightly. It is pissed off at idle (stalls a...

As I am breaking in 2 new engines from SBT their instructions call for me to run 50:1 premix in the gas tank for the first 10 gallons of gas through the engines. So this got me thinking, in the Rotary engine world (RX7's and RX8's) our cars have oil injection directly into the combustion...

I went down to Miami a couple of weeks ago and the two restaurants I went to dinner then lunch while down there stole my credit card information. The lunch place went on a sunglasses, contact lens and Tom Tom GPS shopping spree amounting to $1300 on my AMEX. Amex shut things down about an hour...

I am having a problem with my trailer lights and not sure where to look. I do not have any driving lights when the truck lights are on. Brake lights work perfectly, directional too. Just no running / driving lights for nighttime. I am going to recheck my grounds and make sure everything...

I thought it was hydro locked, so I pulled the plugs, spun the engine, cleaned up the mess that got past the towels over the holes. It still would not turn over with the plugs in, I pulled them again, repeat, repeat, repeat, finally got it to turn over and almost fire, then it locked up...

Joking!! It is a 1978 Mini Cooper Pickup Truck. 1275cc engine making 60HP on a good day. It does weigh 1300 lbs so it has that and it gets 40 MPG which is good because it has a 7 gallon gas tank. I am also wondering if there are any other British car enthusiasts on here. I mean it goes well...

On the trailer that came with my 1999 Challenger 1800. It has hydraulic brakes with the switch at the hitch point you swing to deactivate the parking / emergency brakes for towing. I noticed when I was pulling the empty trailer the drivers side wheel was locked up and only when pulling...

Anyone follow F1? I have been a fan for many many years and most of the time I feel like I am alone on an Island. I am not a fan of stick and ball sports and since I am very busy, I only follow this one racing series. My DVR does all the work for me. :D Anyone else? BTW- if you do...

It became obvious over the weekend that my engine needs new carbs one engine was hell to restart after sitting a while and did not like to idle very much once hot. So I stalled it, then the other engine decided to join in, it took me a couple of minutes to get both to fire again. Distracted...

I am heading there for a week next summer and I am bringing my boat. The house we are renting has a dock in the back and we are welcome to tie it up while there. I need to know where to put in. I looked at aerials of the Island and at the end of Blimp road is a boat ramp, I see no boat...

I am actually surprised these videos have not been posted in this section, I looked and did not see. I also wonder if these folks are members here? This series of about 10 video's spans a long trip to the Bahamas and all around them. Great editing great music choices and fantastic trip...

Grab a beer and let me tell you a story. Sitting at dinner about a year ago with another couple that we are good friends with. Both husbands are sports car types, having owned my older sports cars from older BMW's to old air Cooled Porsches, RX7's, RX8's the list goes on and on. ADHD in the...
