In this video, we continue work on the 1990 Cobalt 202! From running on a hose, to discovering new things about this boat, detail work and more; there's lots of progress before the lake test! Stay tuned for more!
In the first video, you showed of the trim in operation, It looked like they were operating against each other. I suspect one side of the hydrolic lines are put on backwards.
Pull the pump out of the hold and dump out all of the old fluid. When it sits the fluid can turn to thick snot like clumps and the pump can't move thru the system. Hopefully it didn't get in the rams or you have to pull them apart.
So glad i found you channel Ben. Great content and your just a genuine nice person. Also very knowledgeable 😊Brian Seaford long island (Also a boat person)
Hey bud, enjoyed your video. Just want to give you a little help . You need to get a 5 gallon jug of clean gasoline next time and run the engine on the clean gasoline. Most likely have plug all the carb jets with the dirty gas . If you take better protocol at these projects, you’ll save a lot more money.
A question not related to this project - why use petrol karcher? In a mobile cleaning that makes sense, but since you are washing in your driveway and using the hose from the water supply, why not to use electric one? Maybe the video didn't catch it right but the spray seems weaker than from an electric k5-k7 models.
that looks like what I was seeing as well...... could also be a check valve at the pump assembled wrong..... had that on one of my boats.... trim pump did diddly squat, until I pulled it apart and reassembled it correctly
Yeah I saw that when replaying the footage..... I think there's a chance one ram was replaced before I got the boat. The starboard ram is slightly different than the portside. I'm wondering if someone swapped the lines at the distribution block on the bottom of the transom assembly
@@bensboatsthat’s about the only place to swap them…… and wouldn’t be the first time someone screwed it up, and just left it for someone else to discover years later…….
Hate to say it son but when you have blow by like that, your rings are done, so pull the engine out and rebuild it. That’s your best bet. Other than that you’re wasting your time. Good luck.
