OK here are more pic IMG_0055.jpgIMG_0053.jpg I still have more painting to do. I'm going with lime green flame and flaming skulls next

I'm gonna venture that an x465-467 would be in the zone..........a Prather s250 would be an option as well.

in my zen with an rcmk head in a cat i run a 6717 3 blade. id imagine the 30 would have more torque to swing it and move pretty well.

Is gizmomotors.com a safe set to shop and not get clones?? and what do you guy's think of the 2716/2-15*Rake Cleaver

[ODIE105]

ok i just ordered my new G300PUM and tuned pipe shoud be in in 3 to 4 day's maybe a week..

[ODIE105]

will the flames did not turn out the way i wanted and i let the masking tap set to long.. so win i peeled it off it stretched and made the edge look like crape. and during the 2nd layer of paint the wind came up and got dust and some sawdust on it. But i'm going to use a paint brush and paint the edge's a different color.IMG_0062.JPGIMG_0064.JPGIMG_0072.JPG

OK i need help i'm taking my Prather brand Clutch off my old engine to put on my new G300pum but i cant get the part that screw's in to the engine drive shaft off. it screw's counterclockwise right?? do i hit it with some heat? iv been using rust perpetrator on it for a week now.

Assuming you are referring to that Allen head bolt? Try to get it supported good and give it a couple quick whacks with a hammer and punch.

[ODIE105]

yes it is the Allen head bolt. I tried a hammer and Impact driver but it was no good, maybe i did not hit it hard enough ill try a little harder this time. if that does not work maybe i'll drill it out. but i don't what to hurt the screw threads.

[shua]

Are you using a crankshaft lock to keep the engine from turning?

[ODIE105]

ok i got the clutch off the crankshaft but the Allen head bolt looks welded on. i think all go get a new one foe the new engine

[ODIE105]

iv got the the boat done Finely!!!! needed to install the exhaust system and new water lines with a water pump for the engine. but i have one problem the carburetor throttle is too stiff.it thW/ 1mm Crank Big Bore Carb Mod1048 do i need to lube it? or is the spring to tens?
