I have a Chronarch and Curado that needs some help. They are older reels. Guessing DVT is the place to send them?

5" Yum Dinger.

When added to the fuel already in the car. The car won't know the difference. Or use it in the lawn equipment.

I like my 2500fj. Great reel! 2500 is big enough for fresh water. Mine has 15ld braid w/8ld flor/c leader.

Let me know how you like the rod. I need to buy two new rods.

I think it was run lean. I have rebuilt and built performance automotive engine also a few 2 stroke dirt bike and 4 wheeler engine too. I will tear this one down and inspect it. I have a friend who owns a machine shop with a good Sunnen hone. Will see if 0.005 will clear it up. BKeith, any help would be greatful! pm me your #. Are you close enough to look at the parts?

Here is a pic of the cylinder. They are some grooves and metal transfer. It needs boring and pistons.

Thanks for all your help. The guy gave me a parts list. It only had rod and wrist pin bearings. I added the rest myself do to my automotive background. Guess I should tear it down to see what I really need.

Sounds like the floats in the carbs are stuck and your not getting the correct amount of fuel at full throttle. since choking it will add more fuel and it runs better. Check the fuel filter, do a compression check. If all good rebuild the carbs. my 0.02!

It's a 95 Johnson 40. Was told the VRO pump had to come off and a regular diaphram pump had to be installed. I looked up the parts on marineengines.com .030 Wiseco pistons with rings and pins rod bearings wristpin bearings front crank bearing and seals middle crank bearings rear crank bearings and seals gasket kit Machine work total of 600.00 for powerpack and no labor added Carb kits primer block,valve and gasket (Mine leaks when choked) Fuel pump Roller and sleeve's total for fuel system 210.00 Water pump kit 58.00 (probably don't need it. better be safe than sorry) so 900.00 with shipping for just parts. guy said 600.00 labor 1500.00 total +/- All parts are OMC but pistons. I could rebuild it myself with no doubt. My problem would be setting all the linkages and setting the timing, adjusting the carbs correctly.

That price includes removing the oil injection system and putting a regular fuel pump on. Also new waterpump and carb rebuild.

Been having a idling problem with my engine (Johnson 40). Took it today and had it checked out. The top cylinder has low compression and a scoured cylinder. Going to be 1500 - 2k to build it. Should've had a compression check before I bought It.

This is a must!! I just bought a used boat. Heard it run on muff's. Took it to the lake and it would not idle. Well it turns out I have low compression on one cylinder! Compression Test is a must! If it has a automatic oiler and cards. Remove the oiler and mix oil and gas!

Thanks! I hope it lasts too! Nothing wrong with a jon boat. you can go places I can't and fish where I can't.

Actually my girlfriend seen it on the way home one night. She took me back the next day and bought it.
