    Replacing handheld for Northstar 100SS VHF Radio

    Try Seawiremarine.com they replaced the cord on my Icom that was not available and it looked brand new and the turn around was about 10 days. You can email them and they will tell you if it can be done. Much cheaper than a new radio!

    Engine part compatibility question.

    Take your GM casting number from the old head and give it to O'REILLYs and they should be able to get you the correct replacement. Don't tell them it is for a boat.

    Westerbeke gas geneator

    Put some red ATF in each cylinder until mechanic can get to it. It will keep the corrosion and rust down and will act as a penetrating oil. Best thing to free up frozen rings and coat the cyl walls.

    Official Cummins 6cta 450C thread

    Official Cummins 6cta 450C thread

    How much vacuum were you pulling when under a load? How much fuel was in the tank? If tank was low you could have picked up something on the pickup tube.

    New US fire extinguisher regulations

    I think you are over think this. This has to to with portable fire extinguishers only. Either rechargable or disposable but nothing about the built in system. On a 40ft boat 3 are required if no halon system or 2 if halon equipped. The expiration date is the only change as I read it.

    Installing Distributor in 4.3MPI Help

    Rotor should be on #1 cyl at TDC hence the #6 alignment. If not you will get a backfire thru the intake or exhaust on the wrong 4cyl and that would be a big problem. You will still have to adjust timing after getting it running.
