Glastron CVX16, Evinrude 150HO - 2021 Prep: Plugs, Index Washers, Fuel Filter, Primer Bulb
Переглядів 6693 роки тому
Been wanting to get my plugs clocked correctly. And buying new plugs and “hoping” the indexing dials in is ridiculous. So this year I’m experimenting with index washers. So far it looks promising. Thought we would only need to do the left bank...turned out all 6 needed indexing. Not recommending anyone try this till I get some time on our setup. Removed plugs, cleaned, gapped, indexed.

2007 Ford E150 XLT 5.4L Van - Engine Noise, Engine Flush + Oil Change

Owner wanted to change to an Amsoil Synthetic motor oil. So we went ahead with an engine flush and was hoping for an improvement with the noise. I was skeptical because the noise sounds more like something rotating...possibly a bearing or pump component. After the engine flush and fresh charge of oil the noise was still there. We’d like to hear from viewers regarding what you believe the issue ...

    I know this is an old post but maybe this will help someone. My 2001 ZD21 has all of those fittings and more . Front deck strut arms has one on both sides at the mowers frame and the transmission control levers have one on each side in the shaft they are mounted on (under the seat) my mower is old so these fittings may not be on the newer machines. It's worth a look.

    • @Stromzilla

    The front anti-scalp wheels snap ring pin kept falling out on mine so I replaced them with bolts and double nutted them. Never had one fall off again. The center anti- scalp double wheels will get gummed up and stick to the bolt, causing the bolt to spin in the hole and wear the bolt and hole out. I welded some rod to the head of the bolt. This rod goes rearward and bends 90 degrees which then goes through a hole in the mount. No more spinning bolt to wear out.

    • @Stromzilla
      @Stromzilla 3 місяці тому

      Yep…good idea and something I’ve considered and will eventually do

  • @norm-nas
    @norm-nas 4 місяці тому

    23 psi in the front tires, 17 psi in the rear tires helps make the cuts better. The deck height adjuster by your right hand can over time and vibration settle lower so the grass is cutting lower than you want. I drilled a hole in the adjuster gear and frame, dropped a pin in the hole so the adjuster cannot move.

  • @norm-nas
    @norm-nas 4 місяці тому

    When you crank up the front end the jack screw threads need to be lubed. Knock off the plastic cover, it's not needed. Oil the threads when the front is cranked all the way up. It makes it easier to crank by quite a bit.

    Recently blew the gearbox on by zd331. While looking at the parts computer at the dealer I noticed that a dipstick retrofit kit is available for the gearbox. Gearbox is $1550.

    • @Stromzilla
      @Stromzilla 3 місяці тому

      I’m sorry to hear that. My approach with the gearbox on our zd326 is to change out the gear oil on a 2 year cycle. My concern has always been with the box having a low oil capacity and condensation collecting internally. This approach has served me well. Gear oil is cheap compared to a gearbox replacement.

I finally completed my restoration project on my 1979 Glastron Carlson CVX16. Unfortunately I will disappoint the purest out there because my first order of business was to take off the crippled 1979 150hp Mercury and replaced with a 140HP Suzuki - mama wanted reliability :-) Then I proceeded to completely replace all wood in the boat with coosa composite on transom, stringer, floor, flotation encasements, and fuel deck and replaced bolster boards and bench seat back with pvc. Replaced all wiring and fuel lines. Reupholstered and added upholstered side boards along the floor on each side similar to the 1980 models - the added storage space is has really been a plus! Also had it clear coated and it can out beautiful - almost show room looking! Look forward to your reply on battery info (I no longer need the mirror info as I recently found one the mounts to hand rail). Thanks
