Pair of 4" Lyman wood fishing lures. $30 each or $50 for the pair.

I theory, the pressure on the ice will be equal to the tire pressure. Rigidy of the tire itself along with snow cover on the ice will through the calculation off somewhat.

Did they have kill switches in the late 70s? And if they did would it affect the starter motor?

Real estate is a little too pricey for factories in downtown Toronto.

Thanks, I think I can rule out the fuel line in this case. My kicker can run on either an internal or an external tank. I have issue regardless of which I choose. I haven't had a chance to clean the carb yet. I did add Seafoam, but I think that's more of a long term solution than a quick fix.

My kicker motor (5hp Mercury branded Tohatsu four stroke) starts but stalls shortly after. Usually, it will not continue running after I push the choke button back in. Once I was able to get it to run for several minutes. I had twisted the tiller grip to wide open trottle and pushed the choke almost all the way in. I am not sure what that does in terms of throttle plate position. It ran for several minutes with the RPMs continually increasing and decreasing. If I prime the bulb, I see fuel dripping out of a drain line. I assume that this is from an overflow port in the carburator. I tried replacing the spark plug. I had had similar issues in the past and was told that that was the solution. Does anyone have any other ideas on the cause? Fuel filter? Thanks in advance.

I think that's the proper pronunciation. Listen to their commercials.

I have read that ethanol is now mandatory for all gasoline. There may be an exception for marine fuels, but even if that's true, I am not the refineries would bother for such a small market. I have also read that there are additives that can alleviate some of the problems with ethanol fuels.

I am surprised that the record isn't longer too. Aren't there places in Ontario with a 54" minimum limit? Perhaps there have been longer ones caught that just weren't officially entered.

Anyone Remember the old Toronto Zoo Board

He held a contest once. I won a custom painted lure. It has caught fish. 😀 -

I was accessing it via "regular" internet in the late 90s. But it may have started out differently. -
Anyone Remember the old Toronto Zoo Board
John Bacon replied to Cast-Away's topic in General Discussion
I think OFC started in 1999. I found the "Zoo" board in late 1997 / early 1998. I am not sure how long it had been around before that. -
Spring Fishing Show or Sportsman Show?
John Bacon replied to captpierre's topic in General Discussion
I plan to go to the Sportsman Show. I find that it's usually a bigger show with more to see. -
Anyone Remember the old Toronto Zoo Board
John Bacon replied to Cast-Away's topic in General Discussion
I was a regular and a moderator for a time. I found this board from a post on the "Zoo" board. Andy operating hunting and bird watching boards as well. -
worst hotel/motel youve ever stayed at!?

I think this guy heard about it. 😉 -
What if we wait 30 years and fusion still isn't available?

Would it be safe to buy a trolling motor off Amazon?
John Bacon replied to ReubenPereira's topic in General Discussion
If you're buying direct from Amazon there shouldn't be any problem at all. Amazon also sells for third party suppliers. There may be some risk from a third party supplier; but even that risk is small. -
At Ringwood, we treat the salmon with vitamin B baths to combat the effect of thiamase. I have heard figures of 10% mortality from EMS (early mortaliy syndrome) relating to thiamase. 10% isn't going to destroy a fishery on it's own. But an additional 10% on top of other challenges such as less than ideal river and creek habitat may prevent a species from establishing a self sustaining population.

It's bigger than Simcoe. I am sure it can handle a bit of fishing pressure.
