Broken Leaf Spring

[Taylorman]

So i drive 800 miles to Austin this weekend. When i turned onto my street one of the leaf springs broke on my trailer. What luck was that. I bought new ones yesterday and changed them last night. Boy that sucked changing them. Not fun getting the nuts off and the old bolts out of a 30 year old trailer.

Glad to hear you made it home before that happened, How is the boat running with all the upgrades?
I have been folowing the progress on the board and it looks like you have done a great job.
Hope you can make it to Broken Bow or Ouachita for the Taylor event.

Where did you get your leaf springs? The set on my trailer is pretty hammered.

When is ouchita? I wont make it to ok, that fathers day weekend. I'd really like to go though. I ran the shit out of it this weekend on Lake Travis. Ran good. One little problem is about 6 or 7 times the boat would just shut off. It would crank right back up. The last few times it happened i recranked before the boat got off plain and kept on going. Gotta hunt for that ghost. Everything else it fine.
I bought my leaf springs at a local trailer supply shop. FYI, have an impact and a couple of good floor jacks to change them.

They are on the right track with the float levels, I had the same thing happen before I got them adjusted correctly.

[Taylorman]

I doubt its the floats, it dies like i turn the key off. Cranks right back up. Its electrical somewhere.

Taylorman, also remember that just because the wire looks connected from the outside, do not rule out that vibration has not broken the wires inside the insulation. I have had that happen on a few grounds on distributors before.. It is not an obvious situation and can leed to chasing around alot of non exsitant gremlims. give each wire a good slow tug. you may see the insulation begin to stretch more then the others. Any wire that lets go was not properly connected anyways and needed attention. Good luck. R.B.
