Mulv,

What kind of performance numbers are you getting with that thing. What prop are you running also?

This thing has that OIS stuff like was discussed a week ago or so.

Re: My motor puked all over it's self!
 

I have the OIS system on mine. I feel foolish because I'm not sure what size prop I'm running :-[ I get around 5300 rpm at full throttle and about 43 mph top end trimmed up sucking ducks. The motor is a little thirsty but pops the V-20 right out of the hole and up on plane. I can cruise comfortably at 3800 rpm. I just cleaned the carbs this past weekend and was actually pretty easy to work on. The carb bodies can be removed individually without disturbing the lynk and synch or the throttle bodies.

Do ya'll know anything about a plug that would enable me to use my old controls. It souns like a whip that converts from the big red conn. to the multi conn. harness.

Mulv, if things go through with this motor, I would be interested in what prop you do have. The motor doesn't have a prop(the guy used it with his new motor), but the owner of the shop said he could probably round up a used one for me to have.

i've seen the old to new and the new to old adapters on ebay from time to time for around 35 to 40 dollars new.

Re: My motor puked all over it's self!
 

I picked up the new (to me) motor yesterday, it was about a 80 mile round trip trailer. The shop owner helped me bolt it up, all went well. Did a compression check, had from 111-116(psi) on all cylinders. Got it home and finished making all the connections and finnally got to hear that thing run......GREAT DAY IN THE MORNIN' SON!!!!!!!!!!!!. That things sounds good. I'll try to post some pics later today, and hope to give it a good sea trial. I purchased a new all. prop from the guy, ended up going with a 14.5X17.

What is the proper way to adjust the control cables.?

Re: My motor puked all over it's self!
 

Great news Shicks ;D, Good Luck with the new motor.

Re: My motor puked all over it's self!
 

Great!

Till they work!! ;D

really they have a plastic end that is threaded on to a metal rod with a nut, the nut is to keeo it in place after you get it set.

Are you using the same cables?? If so they might be fine were they are.

you want to hear the motor shift into gear and no grind noise once it is in gear!!

If you hear it grinding after you have it in gear adjust one way or the other till itys gone.

Make sure you are going all the way in gear with the shifter!! a slow shift not all the way will not ingage all the way!.

Gas is easier, just look at the linkage and see if it is going all the way, if not the make it longer if it is and not coming all the way back then make it shorter.

Good Luck!@!
