Many thanks Fleetwin, for now and all the other times.
That one looked like it would work, and the price was great. If that one didn’t, I know I could find one that did.
But, I seem to remember it was best to run a test prop in an actual test tank, (y’all know better than I). I just have an old city recycling can, (+/- 90 gallon). Don’t think that’s enough to provide sufficient circulation. Or something. The water would heat up pretty fast at 5,000 rpm, maybe. Love to be wrong on that. And as I say, no shop wants to let me play. Given liability / insurance issues, I understand.
So, the inline fuel filter I put in isn’t restricting it at full throttle, right? I took it off and blew it out; didn’t seem restricted. And it’s an actual OMC marine fuel filter, right side up even.
Felt like I got just a bit of leakage when I vacuum tested the male, motor fuel connector, (303600). Hard to tell; just wrapped one end w/ electrical tape and sucked on the other. Not very scientifical. But did seem to have a tiny bit of leakage. I’ll probably replace.
As recommended, I guess I need to sit in the back and squirt some fuel mix in it while someone drives. I agree, that should differentiate.
Appreciated.
