thanks for the warm welcome. i used to be on the xt6 club and that was nice, but this is more usefull to me. It seems like you guys know a little more about what your talking about! anyways......

i'll check the EGR valve tomorrow( if I can find it). I don't understand how that could make it tick. If GreenMarineSVX
could tell me a little more on what happened with it I'll try to figure out if that is the prob.
