I took my OPE Mag III carb apart last night (Tecumseh engine about 8-10 yrs old) to clean it and after about an hour of messing around with it I can't figure out how to get the throttel part of it back togeather. Anyone have any pics of this or could explain how I do this?

Is there any place that I could bring it to just have them put it back togeather in a matter of a few minutes? I have the carb togeather.....it's just a matter of putting these 2-3 pieces in the right way to get the whole throttle to work properly.

311,

Take it down to D-Rock and Gravel on Old Hi-way 8 in New Brighton. It's North of Cty Rd D. They're in your back yard. They'll know what to do, and won't put the $crew$ to you.

Good luck !

My THUMBS UP for D Rock Center. I was in there a few days ago to get a new pull rope and spring for my auger. One guy behind the desk, (thinking he may have been the owner)watched me purchase the items and asked if I needed help with putting that together or if the instructions would be enough. I figured the instructions were pretty clear, but he just started grabbing his tools, installed the new spring, showed me how to wind the rope, and replaced a brake spring I hadn't purchased yet. When I went to pay him for the brake spring, he said don't worry about it, they're only like 35 cents. So when he was all done, I flipped him a 5 and said, buy yourself a beer or something.

Great customer service in my opinion.

I will also give D-Rock two thumbs up for service. I brought my auger with the carbs part.....asked if they could help me. Service guy sat right at the front desk and put the carb back on the unit so I could watch and see where the parts go. I was basically just hooking a spring in the wrong spot. He put everything back togeather....and then took it outside and attempted to start it. It started (looks like my carb cleaning worked!!!) but ran a little rough. He adjusted the idle screw a bit and it ran perfect. Even gave me some tips on starting and running it. I asked how much I owe him...said nothing. I had to do something so I bought a new gas cap for $10.

Great service....and I will be going back to get a new blade at some point!!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
