Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Slept in a tad this morning.....come up with what I think is a good plan last night...gonna mock up the engine mounts that are in the boat out of a couple scrap 4 X 12s mounted on a half sheet of plywood, exactly the same dimensions/size/shape as the ones in the boat. With centerlines for the motor mounts. Have that set up on a pair of hosses on the shop floor and set the motor down onto the fake stringers and see what has to be removed. Hard to see clearances with the motor in the boat....not any extra room...... would have to use mirrors....no room to get yer head down in there to see. Some very spendy/fragil chit on the lower sides if this motor that can't be rubbing on anything. Like the fuel cooler with the boost pump....in a plastic box....and the raw water pump etc. Some "Stuff" on the motor can be rerouted....some can't.... Anyway, Then I can alter and fuss with the fake ones until I have a good fit, proper access and clearances....then move all that info into the real stringers in one shot....leaving a little extra room for new glass.....sounds good on paper anyway.....we'll sea......

Dam good idea Robin, some Yankee ingenuity there for sure.

Morning guys. Off I got to get a load of wood and get the day started. Was going to get an early start and then the DW snuggled up and got me warm and I got sucked back into sleep.

Now that everyone's wake. Spark testor worth it or not?

Morning guys. I will be away most of the weekend. I am running the hopper cooled engines display at the local AG museum. I am planning to bring some old magnesium saws as well. Hoping to meet ParisW today or tomorrow? I will also be hunting through the projects for a saw to scavenge the parts to get my 450 running. Wish me luck?

I like spark testers. I have the cheap $5 kind. It works OK, but I recommend spending a bit extra to get the kind with a length of wire between the tester and clip. Makes it a lot easier for saws.

Is a spark tester worth having. If so is a Harbor Freight or Autozone cheep model sufficient?

Weed wacker I'm looking at doesn't seem to have spark and can't get a screwdriver to ground to body because of lack of space. Plug looks original and doesn't seem to be sparking even after using sandpaper to clean up the electrode and top part of the plug.

Cheap spark tester works just fine ! And very handy !!
