Another good possibilty for the noise is the driveline itself. If it's "too straight" the u-joints will wobble and make a noise as well.

disconnect the u joint and see if it goes away

Driveline has angle, this ain't my first rodeo.

Maybe if I ran it on a mix of pump gas, alcohol, soybean diesel, corn gas and NITRO the noise would go away? But would it make any more HP???

WOW, what a bunch of retards we are today, yea a 1 degree angle on that driveline ain't gonna make it not wobble.

« **Reply #33 on:** May 11, 2008, 12:12:36 PM »

Did I say it had a 1* difference? I stated that this ain't my first rodeo, I've built more hotrods and kustoms than I can remember and I never once failed to give the u-joints proper angle. But just for shit's and giggles what angle woud YOU suggest?

what angle do you guys think a three point mount has, i would think that would be pretty close to none.

I feel like a lone hetro male standing in the middle of a Village People concert.

Skip, sorry you took offense to me suggesting that an incorrect driveline angle might cause some noise. Not too long ago you were asking for help with your boat, there is nothing wrong with that. But how is it now that it's not your first rodeo? It's the same boat. But to answer your question, I've read around 3 degree's.

Also, since we're on the subjects of retards... yesterday I spent a few hours on the family boat. Cleaned plugs, cleaned the battery connections, charged the battery, made sure it ran (ran great!), and then got the gear in order so my family and I could go out to the lake today. Went out to the lake today, dropped the boat in the water, engine ran great, and the phukin steering wheel doesn't turn, steering is completely locked up. Now all of you, who feel the need to, can do a big high 5 with one hand while your squeezing your best bro's asss with the other hand. Peace.

WTF?

Rod-

I asked the questions to gain knowledge, once I found that the angle of the dangle is the same across the board (cars or boats) it made sense, I set it up with 4* of difference per Jim Brock, but thank you for your advice and in all honesty, thanks for the heads up on the angle, I did go and double check it after your post. As for your family boat, is it possibly the cable or does it have a rack system in it? My dad's I/O had a rack system that went to shit over the winter once, worked bitchin' when he parked it, stuck like all hell the next spring.

I don't know what you know, all I know is what I know, and so I offered you a tiny tidbit of info that may have helped you to figure out the noise you're hearing. Apparently I was wrong in that, because you already knew the answer.

Honestly Skip, I'd have to go through countless pages on the net, still not know a damn thing about it, and then have to go on the internet and post up in 3 different sites before I "got it". Probably about the time that the steering is fixed by myself, I'd then remember I have a owners manual and a shop manual on my outboard. Seriously.
