Both places probably had it. Just didn't know it.

Looks pre-war to me. Look around the engine opening or on the engine hatch. Engine stringers too. Engine could have been changed or could have been a ford flathead V-8, Rare but some had it.

drrot

Anythings possible. Until you pull them and check the numbers on the side and measure them you won't know.

drrot

Without removing the pistons and measuring them it is hard to say. But 1/16" is the compression height difference between a K series piston and a KL series piston.

drrot

Post good photos of what you need. Find a boat like yours and blow up the parts you need.

Numbers

drrot

That's not a Chevrolet pump. If it were the part number would be on the surface where the gasket is when removed.

drrot

Pressurized oil is supposed to go in a manual gear. Blow in the end of the crank to see if it was drilled.

drrot

I prefer covered. Stops stuff from flying out. Have eyelets in the skirt every couple feet to secure the cover to the trailer.

drrot

Weight 3397-4397 Beam 9ft 1in.

drrot

You need to remove the four 7/16" wrench size bolts. The part number is hidden there.

drrot

Has the charging system been re-worked to charge the 8V?

drrot

I read the Maintenance manual cover to cover and all I found was:
Torque 298lbs @ 2800 RPMs
Horsepower 200 @ 3800 RPMs
Horsepower usually peaks then drops off before the engine Maxs out.

drrot

Thermostat was optional. They are in the accessory catalog. Makes it run much better.

drrot

Fine Wood Boats has the gaskets. Here is the end of the oil pump that you will find when you remove that plate. Call 815 344-9663 M -Th to order.

Peter,
The parts are hardware store items. Tubing and delrin. Gravity holds the pole in. That's why they are often missing.

drrot

B175 12 is the flame arrestor part number. See http://www.finewoodboats.com/Zenith%20Float%20Chart.jpg for a chart.

drrot

A KFL should have a timing marker at about 1 O'clock between the two bolts that hold the front flange to the block. Matches to a dimple on the flywheel.

drrot

Switch the carbs and see what happens.

drrot

Probably easier to buy new ones from http://www.finewoodboats.com/Tags.htm

drrot

If it is a disc style I would replace it. Yes clean whatever you can.

drrot

There are two types. One has sides and is referred to as "cup style" I use a socket to install. The other is like a large contact lens. "Disc style" I'd replace that style and install with a large punch.

drrot

If it were me I'd install a spin-on filter kit. Make life easier trying to change the filter later on.

Did you rule out the coil? They can fail when hot and start back up when cooled back down.

I sure miss Carla.

My U-22 has a transom ladder. It was custom made. Most runabout ladders are. Here is the factory Chris-Craft boarding ladder.

drrot

Put bolts in the square corners. That's the way it came from the factory.

drrot

It's a self bailer. Make sure it is clean and not cracked
