That thing is huge

Is it top heavy?

[randyjaerger]

It is not top heavy. Handles like a dream.

[vvuk]

how much fuel does this thing spend?

[randyjaerger]

I can go about 30 miles on 12 gallons of gasoline mixed at 50:1 ratio

I HAD A 70HP, THEY R GREAT MOTORS LOTS OF POWER,GREAT ON GAS, VERY SIMPLE & REALIABLE TOO,THERE PROBLEMS WERE, MANY OF THE PARTS R DISCOTINUED NOW,NOT EVEN AFTER MARKET AND THEY DID OVER HEAT,CUSE AN ALUMINUM PLATE UNDER THE POWERHEARD WOULD ROT AWAY & U WOULD LOOSE ALL OF UR WATER PRESSURE,EVEN THO UR PUMP WAS PUMPING 100%

[sheddski]

THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH OVERHEATING I THINK THE WATERPUMPS WOULD DRY OUT OVER DOWN TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH THEY PUMPED WATER WHEN UNDERWAY THEY WOULD LOOSE PRESSURE SO A TEARDOWN OF THE PUMP WAS CRITICAL COMPARED TO OTHERS MY 1964 60HP AND 75HP ONLY NEEDED 1 REPLACEMENT PUMP BUT ,MY FRIEND 45 HP CHRYSLER NEEDED 2 PUMPS AND IT WAS A 1970 MY JOHNSON 1970 40HP NEVER NEEDED ONE BUT IT DID THROW A ROD (LOOSE BOLT)

I`ve got the 75 hp same model if you ever need any specs or part breakdown for this I have the book for all of them .

30 miles on 12 gallons of gas? At what cruising speed is this? I recently got an older boat I'm fixing up with a 135 on the back and it has an 18 gallon tank. Now I see why. I'm used to a 60 outboard on my Bass boat and that is pretty easy on gas. Now I got a 17' 6" Tri-Hull with this 135 so I guess it is going to gulp gas...

@blackpearl1976 Why do they suck??

[Nickolas64]

Nice. I just got me a 1977 Chrysler 135 HP engine and it's awesome. This engine has been sitting in a barn for 20 years or so and is in excellent condition. 150 PSI on all four cylinders. I love the simplicity of these engines. It's on an Arrow Glass Cheetah 17' 6" boat and is the original motor on this boat. Can't wait to get her in the water. Guess I better take it easy on the throttle if you get 30 miles to 12 gallons of gas. I got an 18 gallon tank so it won't be too bad if I stay out of it

Hay quick question... I own a 1972 Chrysler Conquer 130 engine and I can"t find the emblems for the cover of the engine... Do you know where you could find some?

These old Chryslers would smoke anything out there back in the day, including Mercury, from what I hear. Don't get rid of it! Your grandkids would love to own this.  You can sit the kids around the campfire and tell stories about it, and watch the amazement in their eyes! The tallness of the powerhead is intimidating!

@matzpimp That is a great motor. Always run just a little more oil with your gas than the standard 50 to 1 ratio. I always added about 4-6 more ounces than called for in a 6 gallon gas tank. I only used Mercury "Quick Silver" outboard oil. It was highly recommended by an outboard mechanic of 35 years experience. He also loved the Chrysler motors. I also only ran American/Amaco (BP) high test gas. This is what the old timers called "white gas". It is pure gasoline and nothing else added, I hear.
