I'd be in, put cable steering in it
I sold that boat to pat eves in florida, he rope raced it for a while, and then I really don't know where it went, it was painted red white and blue last time i saw it. That one I wished I still had
Thats Joes boat when I first got it
No one asked me to drive it, I'm all about that boat, I had Joe Burgess' 380
Its hard to explain it looks like your standard washer but at the bottom of it has another piece added to the diameter to fit just inside the gearcase. I had a couple last year but someone onhere...
The prop came with a unique thrust washer that acts as somewhat of a blowout ring, very rare
The block looks just like an early 122cu in Mec, down to the water passage across the top, the intake also seems to mirror a vertical reed merc, as well as the head castings. What kind of carbs are...
The neutral safety switch will not allow it to crank, eh stated it cranks but no spark. when he disconnects the kill wire off of the power pack, it will run
What Hydroplay said, its in one of the harnesses
What hes trying to say is the vertical steering tube is solid on the electric shift and the mechanical shift is hollow because the shift rod goes through it, just take the pivot shaft of the short...
I will run just fine with the 135 style unless you re trying to turn 8000
Ron, this is the thread I was talking about.
Billy, the KR came with 18 needles and the KC 16
So what ws the correct color for the KR engines, I've heard of 3 and I just painted everything...
It's probably not from ethanol. We had this issue at OMC in an area in Indiana. I had to go out and investigate, what we found was the carbs would be this clear gell like substance in them after 3...
where are you getting the 93? Gas station or a marina??
Yamahalube "R" dirty, expensive, and slippery
Yes, the KR crank is bigger, it has larger mains and rod journals, I have Tigers "Virgin" KR15M which I am restoring begining next week, I will take pics. The 8bbl worked just like todays watercraft...
2 totally different engines, the strangler, has 2 2bbl carbs, battery ignition, there were 2 or 3 different center sections, The super starngler, had CD ignition, better internal components,...
No it will not we never sold that magnet seperately
call me 847 356 3245 ill tell you how t do it correctly
We actually had an update for the 1985 engines, if it sits low in the water it will do just what you say, so if you take the plastic cove off of the exhaust reliefs in the back, take a 7/16 drill and...
Your memory is fading, the only grossflow that "came" with a EF crank was a Mod 3 ordered from SE
No that one is gone this is the Mod 3 with 3 carbs, this one was actually quicker, the 6 carb motor had the cool factor but way over carbbed.
The EF crank was all about acceleration, turned a 2.6 into what it should be, as well, sounded really nice, idled like a dream, like I said before, it sounds just like a Merc then. I had a 150XP on...
Purple switched 12V
Pirple white Choke/Primer
Red/Purple trim 12V
It doesnt matter
Yep
According to the model number you listed its a 1985 which would be a 49 cu in, big gearcase
Why don't you get rid of the confusion and post a pic of the heavy one and the 72 one together? Its obvious the difference, the 72 wheel is the only one with the thin ring gear and center hub...
Those engines are 161's, and they are even firing, and yes all loopers are even firing, you could tell when the crossflow had a crank in it, when it went by, just close your eyes and it sounds just...
Well very few had even fire cranks in them, both of the pictured engines have them there might even be one up in the attic too, I know I have the timer bases
If you look at the very top of the exhaust cove, from the side, it is flat at the top, go to that area in the block about a half inch in from the gasket surface and put it there, it is a great spot...
You drill the block right on top where its flat just inside of the exhaust cover, some of the earlier blocks actually had a plug there, the later block we actually put the water indicator there to...
Those nose cones are added, the different skegs are stock just fromm different year engines, the wider skeg was just a 79 case
Sorry it does not, I am looking for a boat to throw it on, I'd like to run it again, maybe after that, kinda like my V4 I ran it so now I can sell it.
I'll have to look and see what other ones I have, but what I do have is the motor that is on that Allison still hangin on a rack
Heres one you didn't see much of, thats the Laser motor
If the Formula E came from there it was just a decal, that may be where we stored the leftover 75 shorts, SE built the Mod motors, 1,2, and 3, the ones pictured are the ones I built, actually I still...
That thing on ebay appears to be a land and sea version, Is the 6 pack you re looking for 6 one barrels?
Depends on when really
Well thge thing is if it is savable, and you redo it yourself incorrectly, which is easy, then it will be quickly worthless, but if you need the bearings and seals I have them all here
The repair is very simple, put it in a box and send it to Chris Fairchild, he stocks all the parts for them and rebuilds them in his sleep, sometimes literally.......

Billy you need to stop by
That conversation was on a "safe" phone line in the cone of silence.
And yes if I wanted the "best" one to run, if you ask the old SE guys would have been the 1975 75hp short, however, have fun...
on your other post I am here now 847 356 3245
sure call me 847 356 3245 / 847 274 9378
I left you my phone number
sure, me
Wow glad this thread didn't run off on a different tangent
