Thats the spark arrestor off Barb's old motor, only one I got right now, I'm going to the boat shop tomorrrow, I'd like to have one a half inch taller, or larger diameter, there is hardly any restriction in those ya know, they are not filtered.
Olered, you really gonna suck all that power thru that little spark arrestor? I'm not knockin it, I'm just askin', I was wondering if I'm gonna have to get a higher flow aftermarket for mine, or if stock Mercruiser stuff was gonna flow enough...
