This is a one of a kind beautiful boat.

Todd, you didn't say what kind of fuel water separator you have , but if gasket is loose or missing it will suck air instead of fuel.
good luck

Thanks, Jeff. not worried about length. I'm guessing marinette used different sizes according drive shaft dia. I have 1"

I find it helpful to get the studs to hold the manifold and gaskets in clace. I also use a long bolt with the head cut off to hold the exhaust hose in place to get the bolts started. Go back and re torque when it has been run.
my 2 cents
Wayne

Can someone clarify stuffing box hose size & length for 1" shaft. Is it 1 1/2" ID or 1 7/8 " ID and 4" or 5" long?
Thanks, Wayne

Remember it was Southerners that built the Big M that we love.

Ask for Jill. Tell her you want Bluff view dock.
It has a security gate and is a floating dock.
Good restaurants near by.

On my 73 model express they are after the fuel cut off.Between the perco filters and before the fuel pump.
Small brass fittings about 1 1/2 long.

Jeff reminded me one time to check the "check valves" in the fuel lines from tank. They can get stopped up.

I put a fuel pressure gauge in line before carb, that way I can tell if it is a fuel delivery problem or carb problem.
Sometimes finding out what the problem is is finding out what is not.
