    How is everyone fixing worn motor mounts

    None of us are doing anything about it. Don't sweat it if the motor mount is secured properly. You should be shimming your motor anyway which will correct any issues with the spacing of the mount. However, If you have a compulsive need for a flat mounting surface, you could try to fix it with...

    Pop off pressure dual 38’s

    I have been told in the past that cutting the springs changes the way they work, and that it is better to bend the arm very slightly. However, I would think that would change how they work with the diaphragms. Not sure which way is better. However I did find (in my limited experience) that when...

    Broke out the saw. 650 shorten/ lighten

    The original piece is 1-piece injected molded. 3d-printer parts can delaminate. I think you did a great job on your tail cone, and that is a great place to save money. It is just not worth the risk when messing with fuel. It might work, but look at the cost of some of the after market options, I...

    Broke out the saw. 650 shorten/ lighten

    Please do not run a 3d printed fuel pickup. Welding the steering might be a quick fix but it reminds me of homer simpson adding elbow patches to his jacket. There is a better way. The kawasaki X2 coupling nut from the trim system fits onto the steering cable. I'm sure you could get one or 2 of...

    “Rebuilding A Bendix”

    I have been able to resolve my past bendix issues by simply soaking them in ATF for a few days.

    Not sure how that's going to work for you. You have that hooked up backwards from stock. It's worth a try if you can get your pipe lined up with the bottom hose on the waterbox.

    It needs to be higher than the waterline and the line needs to be hooked to your reduction nozzle on an outlet facing backwards. It functions on the venturi principle just like your carbs etc.

    I'm not sure what you are calling the bulkhead brace. It looks like maybe you are talking about the midshaft housing. If so, that is an aluminum part that holds your midshaft bearings. It is coated with rubber so yes anything you put on it will crack. For straps, you can look at kite board or...

    Me too! It's not OCD though. Organization = efficiency. Inefficient people just like to justify it labeling efficient people. I just want to be able to find my danged screw driver.

    Can they be made quieter?

    It makes a mess of your pump and it causes cavitation during tail stands. Worth it to some people.

    Can they be made quieter?

    Pretty sure that's all the EPA does.

    Best fiberglass repair in houston area?

    Get store credit, buy oil, ride that bitch, ride it hard, make those gouges look like child's play. After you get the cash or credit, get some brush-able gelcoat, smear it on, seal with PVA to cure, sand a bit, ride that bitch hard and make the gouges look like child's play. Did I mention to...

    Rebuild or Part Out? Opinions Needed

    It is worth the value of the title. About $100. It is illegal to sell title with HIN plates and is bannable on this site. Require the hull be taken in the sale. Whatever they do after they leave with it is not your problem. It's always good to get a copy of the bill of sale for the seller to...

    I spent the day yesterday taking everything out of my cabinets on my carport, scraping the mud dobber nests off the walls of the cabinets, the tools themselves, etc. Taking off air fittings to clean mud dobber babies out of them, because why didn't I think to 3d put covers on my air tools right...

    Rebuild or Part Out? Opinions Needed

    It sucks you got had. I too have bought hulls with poly repairs and wet foam. It's no more work and minimal money to do the repair in epoxy so I would lean towards the prior owner being ignorant. That hull is trash. Yes it can be fixed but what are you going to have when you are done? A heavy...
