Glastron with the new 5.7 Mercruiser on the first lake test

[cuban571]

but how do the fumes get into the carb, if the hoses are not connected to the inside of the carb

[FriscoJarretts]

@cuban571 The vacuum from the engine pulls them in.

[cuban571]

hey quick question- the two black hoses that go from the airfilter of the carb to where do they go and what are they for.

[FriscoJarretts]

@cuban571 PCV valves. Positive Crankcase Ventilator. It takes the fumes from the crank case and puts them into the Carb

@FriscoJarretts They arent real PCV valves right? There is no vaccume tube going to the manifold to collaps the spring in a PCV valve. These are hollow casings made for this application. Using an automotive PCV valve with the spring without being hooked up to a vaccume port will cause crankcase pressure. At leats thats how I understood it.

@LS6Z28

I think you are right.

[LS6Z28]

@FriscoJarretts I hope so, I am rebuilding the 260/350 on my wellcraft this winter and when I pulled the valve covers I was surprized to see hollow valves. It makes sence. I just didnt know if that was stock mercruiser or if the previous owner modified them because of excessive blowby. But the reading I did said that using a conventional spring loaded pcv wouldnt work. Thats actually what brought me to this vid. clean boat by the way

Nice work, watched your vids from start to finish, stumbled across them when I was looking for info on redoing the floor in my 1996 Larson. You've done a great job. that thing has an excellent hole shot and sounds really nice looks like it handles the chop well too. Good work and congrats!!

[DarrenNemeth]

Thanks for all the great videos! I've enjoyed them all. Kind of sad that you are finished with the boat now. lol No more videos. :(
