HI RIPCUDA, Yes, it ran fine for years. I started having issues about 18 months ago and it has progressively gotten worse. It started as an issue where I would be cruising along and it would just die (somewhere in the upper 4 RPM range) then it would start back up with no issue run for a while...

I have had an excessive smoke issue or some time, specifically starboard side. I replaced the spark plugs and port side temp sensor, no change. I tried the boat this weekend and noticed that port side exhaust has no heat, just some slight moisture spiting. After reading some posts, and...

Any update on htis issue? I have recently started have a similar issue on my 2001 2 stroke, surges above 4,000 rpms and shuts off frequenlty when surging. No issues noticed under 4,000 rpms.

My boat lists hard to left, I assume it’s the wear ring. The cable is only a couple years old. The impeller looks ok, the wear ring has major pitting and scratches. How do I get the old one out? Where can I get a tool to remove the impeller? Where can I find a new one? 2001 challenger 1800...

yes, round, has 7-10 pins, maybe 1-1/4 in Diameter. hides under the separator near the starter. I must have knocked it lose while changing the separator in the field.

UPDATE: took it to the ramp several weeks ago, no start. Noticed the lift pump wasn't running so i changed the separator. Still no start. So I took it home and parked it. Later I got in to replace the last 2 fuel lines, I was waiting to do them with the separator. While replacing the lines I...

Where did you get the Stainless Steel intake grate ? Thanks, Scott
