FINALLY!!! got the new 701 engine into the SN and it starts up and sounds good now.. when we first put it in and tried to start it up it was reving way too high. we thought it had something to do with the carb settings and were about to swap the carb out for another 46mm and when we took the one that was already bolted on, we found two washers sitting on the intake gasket. stupd me, probably forgot them there when we bolted down the carb.
so after we got the carberator issue resolved, we heard a 'rattling' nose comming from somewhere in the hull. after a while of looking around trying to see what was causing the noice, we thought it could be the bendix not disengaging. we took the flywheel cover off and sure enough, it was. we switched the flywheel cover with another one that we had lying around and there goes the annoying rattling sound.
now it sounds great and its all bolted together and ready to go in the water, sort of...
