water through the stuffing tube?

[screwball]

ive got almost all of the kinks worked out of my new micro scat cat and ive got just one problem left, i keep on getting water come in through the stuffing tube! its really starting to get annoying. is their any trick on keeping this from happening? ive got a teflon liner in the tube but that doesnt seem to help all that much.



thanks
James

you can use a small piece of fuel line (water line) by placing it over the end of the stuffer tube with part of it going over the flex shaft but just not touching the flex
also on your strut if the stuffer tube runs into it (like speedmaster) you can put a piece of heat shrink over were they join, this can stop water being forced into the strut

thanks , i will try the fuel line idea and my strut doesnt have that feature

I always run the stuffing tube, directly into the strut with no teflon and have never had any water come into my hulls, using this method.

i was just giving him suggestions to try that have worked for other people
i dont have to use them myself as i dont have that problem, but then i dont use grease either
