Greetings all;
...a short disaster story before my question.....
(last weekend)
...I am coming out of turn 3, just behind a shallow-V .60, when he suddenly slows down
..(stops)...and in an instant...I rear end him at 55mph. :-[ ..within 10 secs..my boat is on the bottom!!
->I recover it from 10 ft of water<-
Saturday...(spent the week fixing)
..on my 4th lap..and lose ALL radio control. (HOLY CRAP!! its heading for a REAL boat....but misses)
The boat ends up on shore...doing 20K rpm...and BLAM...there goes connecting rod. DOH!
Problem was a bad wire connection to switch I missed when putting all back 2gether...SOB! I cant believe I missed that!!
So now I have the OPS 60 apart...but I cannot find replacement parts... Only parts for a .67/.80...which someone said are interchangeable. (Sleeve/Piston/Con rod different) Is this true??
The piston and sleeve have no visible damage, can I use a .67 con rod..and go??
This was one amazing little engine..and ideally, I just wanna get it back to how it was.
Anyone have a 'parts' OPS 60 they are selling?? or have a line on a parts supplier for these old gems??
Thanks all
