The O ring is something I haven't considered. I'm going to change the hoses today and I'll look at the O ring. Thanks J

This is a used motor. I'm at the point where I can start the motor but it does not idle smoothly - it runs rough at idle - almost like surging. Then it leans out and I have to shut the motor off. When the motor leans out the carb is hardly open. This looks like an old style carb. There is an...

Thanks - e mail me at [email protected] and I can pay you. Thanks Jim

I picked up a used 7.5 K & B with a prather tuned pipe. I'd like to buy a muffler for it or some type of quiet pipe. Thanks Jim

Went out today and had the high at 1. Ran smooth - top end of 50.4. I haven't even started with the set up so I'm sure there is a few more mph out of it. Thanks for the help everybody. Jim

Don, I believe the prop is 6717 two blade. The pipe is a C & C with a 2" band. Motor is modded by Larry Broman. Jim

The carb is a 257. It starts fine and will rev up fine when the throttle is blipped out of the water. Jim

I picked up a used cat with a 260 mod motor. The motor is giving me trouble. When first starting off, the boat gets on plane but only does about 25 mph. If I back off the throttle, it will start to pick up and get on the pipe. When I'm driving it I'm going back an forth between full and...

Doug, I've been running a Thundercat this summer and its a lot of fun. You can find a forum on rcuniverse dedicated to the boat. Some guys are getting close to 40 with this boat, minor mods like prop, fuel etc. Not a bad boat for the money. Jim

Javier, It took about 10 days to get a new boat. Jim

Jerry - Thanks for the reply. I'm learning this as I go. Here is a real new guy question - How do you remove the cup from the trailing edge? Jim

In a previous post I described how the hull was warped on one side. Aquacraft was great, they sent me a new boat. The bouncing stopped on the straights but it still bounces in the corner. I know that I just need to tweak it to improve the handling. Looking for where to start. I'm using a stock...

Jerry, I purchased the boat used - I guess I got lucky. Anyway, the sponsons on the htb 290 have not been touched. Jim

The right sponson is straight and has full contact on a flat surface. The left has full contact 6" to 7" from the rear of the boat. From the contact point on the left sponson to the end of the boat, the sponson is 1/8" of inch off of a flat surface. Instead of trying to fill the sponson...
