Huh I guess I've never dealt with an engine that doesn't come with a needle. Where might you get one and how would you attach it?

Hello, I've been working on a JAE OB with NR keep (got busy for a while but now I'm back). I started it up and it is spitting fuel and will only run a couple seconds. Obviously very rich. My question is how do you adjust the carb on this motor? I've leaned countless O.S./K&B engines but I can't...

Yeah they've been out a while, I got one for my NR 0.67. I've bought a number of engines from MECOA, they seem to be doing ok but probably need more workers.

X2, their stuff is worthless Get something made in the US if you want it to last

Now that's pretty neat! I haven't run mine yet, how noticeable is the difference in performance/handling?

Good to know, hopefully more people can donate!

Hello, Saw at the top of this at the top of this forum: Donate to Intl Waters today! $5, $10, anything helps! I made a donation, but I just wanted to make sure this is a legitimate link. I'm just a little concerned because it doesn't have a poster name. Thoughts?

*UPDATE* The radio control outboard website has a boats page and plans to build what is by far the most effective retrieval boat I have ever used. Even if you don't want to spend the money on the outboard unit I would take a serious look at the plans. Wish I could show a picture of the one I...

IMPBA rules (referring to B Sport): The lower unit below the cavitation plate may be trimmed, sharpened or polished. No material shall be added to the lower unit. Looks like I was wrong in both cases, shouldn't be a problem!

Are you implying that you are allowed to polish the lowers of stock outboards? Is this in NAMBA or IMPBA or both? I really don't know myself so maybe someone else does

I'm not sure this is allowed in the stock class...

Sure is beautiful! First outboard I've ever had that wasn't 3.5cc or 7.5cc. Lower unit on the way!

That site doesn't really seem to have much information, I just emailed him and asked for them

Just ordered one, can't wait!

Ron, your right after installing both the O.S. and the 707 specialties one, the 707 is worlds better because it holds the cable in a better position and is much more rock solid. Thanks for the info, great find!
