Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Fuel lines hit valve cover
« on: August 20, 2008, 09:09:05 PM »
I was mounting up my carb and fuel lines today and the fuel lines hit the valve covers. I have an Edlebrock Torker II intake that twists the carb at an angle on the motor which is pushing the fuel lines into the valve cover. I have been collecting parts for a while now and I am just getting things together. I really don't want to buy new fuel lines but I was thinking of a carb spacer. I think 1" should make it fit just fine. I have a little tube bender that I use for bending brake lines at work but I think that would be kinda cheesy to bend them. Are those spacers good or bad? I build axles for a living, I am not really a motor guy. Thanks for any help in advance.

I have a trailer on the AZ side at the Colorado River Oasis and they have plenty of waterfront hook ups that are always available and they have cabins that you can rent too. The launch ramp is at least a three boat wide ramp and there are hardly ever three boats on it. There is a pool and a hot tub too when you are done with the river. I am not sure if you have to be a member or not. I am in a different part of the park. Give them a call 928-846-3421.

Aquaholic - do you still go into goose this late in the season? We used to but it gets pretty nasty in there. You are almost certain to suck up weeds as you come out.

The starter housing has the two bolts at 45* angle. I was going to take pics but it was dark and I was getting frustrated. I will post some up tomorrow.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Starter doesn't fit
« on: August 18, 2008, 10:25:19 PM »
I was trying to put my starter in today and it wont slide into place. I have a BBC on a 4 point mount system and it seems that the bottom part of the cone is hitting the casting of the motor mount. I am wondering if the motor has just settled down a little bit so I cant slide it in or if the motor mount casting is just off. Should I just grind the casting away a little bit or should I loosen the mount and try to lift the motor up a bit? I bought all the parts from one guy but I don't know if they were ever put together. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Bought these for the Kona but didn't use them after all. $100 bucks for the pair and three mounts. The mounts are a little big but can be modified to fit better. 8 x 48 The fill is 2" to center from the end. Should hold 10.5 - 11 gallons each. I tried posting pics but they are too big. I will try to resize in a bit. Or I can email pics.

Thanks PW. I was getting a little worried about it. I will wait a couple of days and see what happens before I do anything.

what if you don't put enough hardener in the resin, what will happen? I just did my seat mounts and it's not real hot out and it doesn't really seem to be kicking off. Will I just have a mess of goop to clean out or will it eventually harden?

Jet Pumps / Jet plumbing questions
« on: August 03, 2008, 10:13:18 PM »
I am trying to finish up my project and I can't figure out the plumbing for the jet. I am running a 12JC pump and a BBC with Nicson through transom exhaust. I read a previous thread http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=4220.0 and the pic from luckie stiff helps but would I do something different for through transom exhaust? Please help.
Thanks,
Rob
