My passion is to try something new or bring back something that would be thrown away. Have fun, enjoy and learn something at the same time. Never give up, never surrender!
Hello Dave, thanks for watching and the question. Any spark plug wire will work. Once I decided where I wanted to mount the meter, that basically decided which wires I could wrap around. Hope this helps.
Hello Robert. My name is danny. I believe I have the identical engine. I have a 2011 stingray 208. Attempting my first oil change. Will the engine need more than the 5 quart container you show? I see now you answered this to charbel below. I guess that is what makes it a 4.3L engine:) That should be a clear part of the video how much oil to by. Ty for your time.
Hello Danny, Thank you for watching. Every engine may be a little different, that's why I'm not specific on the amount. When I bought the oil from a Marine dealer, I gave them the type of engine so they could advise me on the amount I needed. Good luck with your oil change and happy boating!
Hello Nino, Thanks for watching. Ironically my first boat was a Doral Colt and I loved it. I sold it years back so when I wanted another boat and I saw this Larson, I feel in love with it.
@@robertjordan7323 I remember my first time changing the fuel filter out, and not knowing it was reverse threaded. Needless to say a lot of wasted time thanks for your video.
Keep up the good work, Nice to see new individuals getting in to this hobby, The thing I have found with some Seiko quartz movements is to just lubricate lightly and then wind the hands around several times in both directions and then put a brand new battery in it and leave it sitting for some time whilst randomly winding the hands, again in both directions, Always remember that quartz movements tend to have a hacking function so pulling the stem out to set the time will stop the seconds hand from rotating, so remember to push the stem back in after time setting has been achieved,
Apostle Load of !!CRAP!! watches my Casio pro track watch is better them not worth showing them wahat a waste of time and money not even worth my ratishons .
The Timex looks to be from the 70s. The last two digits below the 6 are the year. I'll also bet you can sell that band for more than you paid for the lot. Some leather conditioner will clean it up and somebody wants that for sure.
Hello, great video. I have the same movement and the date wheel gets stuck, it cant advance on the next day, the day wheel advances but the date gets stuck. Do you know how to fix this?
Same here - Canadian and my Dad left behind his 1954 Bulova 10CSC, which I remember from early childhood, and coincides with his graduation year. case is same as yours but dial numerals are at 12, 3, 6 and 9. I have yet to figure out how to let down the mainspring. It’s not a simple matter of pulling back the click, because if you remove the automatic works from the main upper plate, things are still under tension and can go flying. Also it frequently goes ‘bzik,’ which seems likely to be caused by the wrong grease in the barrel.
Hey, thanks for watching. This Bulova is still giving me troubles. I cause one problem and fix that and create a new issue. I'm still working on this watch. Hope to have the video out soon. As for the main spring, the click on yours can be pulled back so you can release the spring power?
@@robertjordan7323 I haven’t had my 10CSC fully apart, still waiting to learn more. If the click is pulled away from the mainspring barrel, the mainspring does not unwind. It seems there could be more than one click or ratchet between the auto works and mainspring. If I remove the top plate of the automatic works, things want to fly away, indicating there’s energy stored, but it hasn’t been released it yet. Any idea if there’s a technical service manual online for this movement?
What if I drained the coolant out of the MerCruiser cruiser inboard outboard motor? Do I have to fill the engine block back up with water so the impeller isn’t working overtime? Or is this not necessary? 2:41
Hello Robert, Thanks for watching my video. If I understand your question, once you are ready to start your engine, your motor always needs to have a supply of water to cool. Either from a hose like in my video or the lower part of the motor can be in the water(lake/river). Does this help?
Hello Franke, thank you for the inquiry and watching my video. I'm a hobbyist at this and the watch you speak of may be more suited for a watch maker. Have you tried a watch maker/jeweler?
@@frankevega No worries. When I finish the video on this watch, my most economical solution was to buy a new quartz movement and install it. Replacing the defective coil on the original was way too costly.
The Seiko 7N43 quartz movement is a direct drop in replacement. Of course it doesn't have jewels, but if you want a watch that works, that is the way to go - if you cannot repair the 8123.
Hello Mark, yes. Also, I determined the VX43 movement will work as well. Found a dealer carrying them for $7 each. More cost effective than Ebay and a donor coil from a past movement for $60. I'm in the process of putting it in.
@@robertjordan7323 I’m just starting. This was my first real watch, and I recently found it at my moms house. The battery had leaked, so I cleaned that up as best I could with tweezers and rodico. Then I popped in a new battery and prayed but to no avail!
Really enjoyed watching the video, Im a hobbyist like you,I’m on to my 34th watch. I’d advised getting a casing cushion and to keep stripping the movement down and rebuilding it. This I found helps with dexterity with the tweezers and your understanding will develop over the movement. Use one dip to clean jewels and the pellet fork. Rodico is another essential and is cheap, I use it for everything. Good luck for your future watches. P.s. get a magnet it can really help with finding missing springs and screws. Just keep it well away from your screwdrivers.
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. The funny thing is I started this because my 5 yr old mechanical Bulova stopped and I pulled my Father's watches out of the drawer and wanted to use them. Now it's becoming an interesting hobby. Hopefully I can start collecting tools.
As for the setting bridge and spring almost all movement makers had a one-of-a-kind setting bridge in order to clear any copy right issues. Part suppliers like Best Fit have pictures in their catalogs that has a drawing or picture of each bridge. This movement is mostly the same as a Durowe 570 as a 11 1/2 ligne and the picture shows there is a spring that is missing/broken on the bridge. Somewhere I don't recall at the moment there are free downloadable copies of the catalog.
Hello Ron, thanks for watching and asking. I opened the main spring barrel to see if the spring was not broken. However, because this is my beginning to watch repair I don't have a main spring winder so I left the spring alone and replaced the lid back on. Also, I did oil the jewels including the balance jewel. The hardest was getting the balance jewel cap off with out loosing it.
Besides all that aggravating noise that is not necessary we understand what you doing , why did you not show how actually remove the oil filter instead than putting back on
Hello Tony, yes the pump is soo noisy. The reason I didn't show the filter removal was because the old filter is garbage at that point and when you see me install the new one, you see the direction it turns to tighten. For the new filter I felt the oiling of the seal was a more important step. However, I do appreciate the comments and suggestions! Thanks
Hello, what I was trying to explain is that it is important to check and top up your trailer tire pressure. While sitting during storage, the tire pressure can go below recommended. It's important to check the pressure and add air if low. If the trailer is driven on a tire with low pressure, that tire could blow while moving.
