Just Pay whatever air fare might be and send out SPARE to fix it.

probably would have been cheaper to do that and pay for his hotel, rental car and a hooker :)

just bring it down here and park it in the back yard, just made room by finishing the wiring job on the 15 whaler, it can sit beside the galstron and my v

spare parts sounds like the man for sure, and don't be surprised if I try to take up the offer. To be honest this sounds like a problem any of you guys could fix in a couple hours! I'll keep you all posted as things progress. Waiting for the snow to melt for now, but hey its raining so at least I wont be ice fishing! Got to love Michigan winters

I'll make it a little more tempting, its 75 and sunny here right now, and just the other day, I caught 8 trout from the dock, kept 5, big fish was 24", 3 released at 13 1/2 ( 14 inch minimum on specs here in SC). "Nothing could be finer than to live in Carolina"

sweet:

i had the same problem and ended up changing the engine to a v6 4.3, uses the same multiplication in the outdrive. however you can:

- take end the caps off the heat exchanger and clean the lines with a thin wire brush.
- check the raisers gaskets and make sure they are metal with close passage paper gaskets
- check the timing, the 470 is very sensitive if off timing just a little bit.
- make sure all hoses are straigth and disconect the hose that comes from the outdrive and make sure the drive's impeller is sending water out.
- replace radiator cap

good luck with that engine.!!!
