This boat came with the very rare Octura modified engine with a rotary valve. I transferred the engine in to the White Heat, which was much more appropriate. Thanks for that link.
My grandson was there when I opened the box for mine. He got all excited when he saw it and asked "Can I shoot it too?" He thought it was a weird gun of some sort.
Also, sometimes if you just walk away from them for a while, come back and try again, they fire right up and run like a top! Don’t forget to make sure that your fuel tank is venting properly.
David, those retaining clips are a nightmare and I never did figure out how to install them. I have literally spent hours on them. Call me stupid, but they suck. The later retaining spring is a much better design and I have actually cut grooves in older recoil housings with a Dremel to accept the later style.
This guy is really expensive on his parts and I would check with me before buying anything from him. This housing is hard to find and he is selling them separately. I would ask him if he could put them together at one price- I have new filters. Hopefully sometime this month, I can get everything together for you. Like I said, I kinda want to do an "all for one" deal. Please be patient.
What about the gasket between the carb and the manifold? I'm looking!
David, do you think that these would work without the pulse hook up? Just trying to see if these would make a good replacement for the crappy originals...
I could never get a spark by hand. These are the things that you will learn along the way. Eventually, you may acquire the "O&R Master" title, at least in the States.
