i would like to thank all those who helped with my questions in the last 3 weeds
the rebuild has been completed, and the first ten hours are expired.
i had a few glitches last time out. found a fuel line kinked (evedently doen it while putting the power head back on.) and the prop was staring to spin on the hub, (getting it rehubbed as we speak)
but all in all the last 2 times on the water has been satisfying, havent really gave it the juice yet, but this weekend will tell me the whole truth.
just wanted to give an update, and for those interested in a rebuid.. i have to say with a helper (thanks Bingle) and a crunched budget, and a lot of patience IT CAN BE DONE
thanks again to all those BBC'ers
