Pulling a huge tube

[NICKYPOO]

These things are pretty easy to tune up yourself. Especially with a direct drive. Change the spark plugs and the oil & oil filter and your on your way. Oh yeah, clean the flame arrestor also. Those things can get pretty clogged up. I also put on a nice set of plug wires just to make sure I have maximum spark.

It will not be too much strain on the motor. The wate provides a fairly constant load and whether the boat is moving or standing still there is still strain on the motor. Marine engines and components are built to handle the strain.

Thanks for the help
