My weak sounding horn turned out to be spiders nests inside. The back end came off easily and once cleaned it fixed the problem.

I use rare earth magnets to attach 2- 120 w panels to my Bimini. They don’t move!

Update. The engine ran fine until haul out. I was able to remove just the one rocker arm as it was #1. Took it into a machine shop and they had to drill it out. It’s now back on with a new adjusting bolt and gapped properly. Oh, and I used a six point socket this time. A lesson learned...

I tried the vicegrips and heat without luck. The remainder of the bolt head broke off. I checked with Brian and I should be able to remove just the first pedestal and take off the rocker arm fairly easily. I’ll likely take it to a local machine shop to extract the rest of the bolt. I will try...

I wasn’t able to adjust it before it broke. It is about.016” instead of the correct .015”.

Thank you for the suggestions. Does anyone see any problems in continuing to run the engine as is until the end of the season? I plan on pulling it out in mid-September.

To answer some questions: The adjuster screw is a friction fit. I have attached some pictures that Brian at AD sent me. I did have an email conversation with him.

Thank you RTF. How difficult is it to remove the arm?

I was adjusting the valves yesterday on my 1985 SP135 Lehman and the adjusting nut for valve #1 broke off. I don’t believe any of the broken pieces fell into the engine. I have attached a picture. I finished adjusting the rest and started it briefly and it ran smoothly. Should I be concerned...

Yes, no luck finding one so far.

Thanks. I checked eBay (and everywhere online) without luck. Here is a picture of what I need.

This is a second station display. My LCD display is shot.

We have an Albin 40 with a galley down which we like. We are located close by in Midland, Ontario so if you ever want a look just PM me.
