just wondering what the black coating i have that's collecting on the filter fins? i have the 1995 190 5.0 FL carb model and when i first got this boat this spring, i saw this build-up which i brushed off and then blew out. now, after a few times out, i see the same thing! so far i can't see any other places showing the same collection of dust . my first 2 thoughts were that maybe it was a film from the sunpad (black backing, or... engine belt "dust".) the belts are old but didn't seem too worn and don't slip. while on the subject of belts...i've also had the hardest time trying to find a match-up for them. the goodyear number on one belt couldn't be found by napa and they told me there equiv. chart could would provide a match-NOT! their belts are just slightly wider than the old ones and ride high in the pulleys so the length is thrown off plus i don't like how high they were set in the grooves. taking them back, they told me that this was the belt show to be a match so no help there! any thoughts??- bk
