TOPIC: Homelite up and running

Hi all. My Fiberglassics are put away for the winter. But I still am running my 21' pontoon powered by a 62 Homelite. Had a few problems down the road but I think they are solved.
So far so good.

Glad to see you got her straightened out there Dave, hopefully a few more weekends on the water will be your reward. Lookin' good!

Thanks Mark. I plan on pulling the pontoon next week sometime.
The spring clips on the distribitor were not holding the cap down tight causing the wear on the rotor snd contact. I adjusted them so they hold tight now. As of the last check I didn't see any irregular wear. Hopefully I got it. I am now an expert a Homelite cam changer. I also put in the newer cam that uses the nylon distrib key. No need to pull cam for key replacement.
Hopefully I'll have my 62 Lone Star Fleetwood in the water next season..Powered by a 62 Merc 700 FGS.

I have three last-series Bearcats. Great motors! But I sure would like a short shaft to put on one!

I have one new short shaft conversion kit left Gary, email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I found this laying in a guys backyard.
He won't get rid of it.
RIP old girl.
Looks like he has been mowing around it for years.
