Certainly not a carb expert, but I do like to drive the boat fast! I've learned a tremendous amount on TT, and continue to, as I read it almost daily. Thanks for keeping us straight.

Sorry, can't put stickers on the boat. Heck, I've not been able to drill any holes in it yet.

The secondaries are held closed by spring pressure so if the secondary diaphragm fails they will not go to full rich. For the secondaries to open, manifold vacuum must reach roughly 6 inches of vacuum before the secondaries will open (approx. 3/4 throttle). Vacuum at idle will approach 30 inches, and as the throttle blades are opened it will continue to drop to near zero vacuum at wide open throttle.

I haven't been able to add any decals to my boat, but it comes with a bunch from the factory so I think I am OK for now. I can still hit 44 MPH so no complaints.

Bump, looking to replace/upgrade the distributor, as the current one is corroded. What do you guys suggest?

There have been some numbers matching distributors found on eBay for not too much. I would try to find one and put in electronic ignition. I have been very happy with my Pertronix EI and coil.

Ok, I did a quick search earlier and found this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pertronix-Ig...-/170922256137

I'm not too familiar with marine electronic stuff.

Perhaps I didn't get your previous post. Are you looking to replace the electronic ignition or the whole distributor?

[mxhideout]

Mainly just looking to replace the distributor on the cheap.

Did we miss the after pictures? Did the graphics work out?

[mxhideout]

Nope, sorry I haven't updated anything. Been busy with so many other things that we haven't even taken it out yet. Just had my sisters grad party this past weekend, so now it's time to get stuff done. We cleaned and rebuilt the carb and want to test it out this week, but the ignition nut was cracked and doesn't hold the switch when turning the key. Can I just get the nut, or do I have to buy a whole new switch?
