Yep, thanks. Figured that out. Replaced the lines but as you saw in the other thread...still looking for the leak(s).

Thanks for the input, jtsai! If it looks like diesel and tastes like diesel, it must be diesel. Ha! It's definitely diesel. The smell test is clear. And our coolant is green. Definitely not tranny fluid either. I'm gonna put my phone in a selfie stick and take a bunch of pics and vids to...

Thanks, Loren Beach. That was helpful. After replacing the return lines, engine started and ran fine. No leaks originating from those connections anymore. However, we still have a fuel leak. Haven't been able to pinpoint it (them). Fuel drips down off of the bell housing on the back of the...

When we bought our 1986 Ericson 32-3, there was an oil indicator toggle switch with adjacent space for a light on the ignition/instrument panel. I quickly figured out that the toggle wasn't actually connected to anything. No wires, no actual switch, no light bulb. There is a single...
