Mine has been sitting for 4 yrs and needs a good cleaning as there was quite a bit of fuel gummed up in the gas tank. I can only imagine what the carb is like... It just doesn't seem to wind up as much as any of yours.

I plan on taking everything apart next time I'm @ the cottage to make sure I can rule all those things out. I just wanted to see it go... as soon as I finish uploading it I will post it up.

well one thing too possibly check on is some of the weedeater engines coils have a like rev limiter also i have read something on this issue at one point , dont qoute me on iths , but is this a engine you pulled from a weedeater ?
if you budget allows in the future grab a marine set-up or even a better grasser air cooled , a cheap CY 29 26 motor all bedenps on what you want

No Sweat Rubin ..
you really should have a twin water pickup going through that motor one line feeding the head and one line feeding the pipe seperatley through one pump though , so you'd have 2 pick-ups into one pump with 4 lines 2 in 2 out then seperate from there , i noticed the plugged holes in the side .. you'd use one of the vent hole to exit from the head anyways , because your pipe right now is getting used hot water from the head and at those rpms you need to cool her down as much as possible ..
Anyways reall happy for you to have some good running ,because thats what its all about

Hi



I just found this thread on here for boats; I have recently become a father and have decided to take a year or more off, from racing off road, so I decided to get into boats, I live between two lakes(10 min away) and think it would be e better idea then running the roads driving to tracks just to race or practice. what I am getting at is I was wondering if someone has or could point me towards someone who has a gas boat for sale or that would be willing to sell?

typically your weed eater will have about 1hp or a little more, its design is really made for reliability and longevity as opposed to high power (a new echo is supposed to run almost 200 hours between rebuilts as opposed to 20 - 40 hours for a zenoah), generally a weedwacker motor will have 2 piston rings and the porting (both intake/exhaust and transfer) is much less aggresive for that very reason too reduce the revs however they can be ported to put out more power but at the cost of a zenoah engine its hardly worth the time and effort. enjoy what you're runnin and once ready for that mind blowing experience drop in a nice new zenoah

Rich at RC sports and hobbies (woodbridge) has a variety of used boats in good condition mostly gas and he also stocks some parts.

otherwise its ebay but thats usually a hit or miss plus shipping for a big boat is a killer.

Thanks for all the help guys... I guess I would need water pumps as well when I get a Zenoha?
