With the “fine print’ out of the way, We want you to be happy with
your purchase, and will work with you or your installer to provide the best
possible installation of your purchase. It is important to determine the cause
of the original damage and correct it, or the same failure will soon occur. We
have seen most failures, and have come up with some standard procedures that
will alleviate most of the common causes of failure. Short cutting these
important steps, will only put your product at risk, and cost you more in the
long run. We will not be responsible for failures caused by you or your
installer cutting corners. We are happy to help in any way to make a long
lasting repair. See below for instalation tips, and ask when you make your
purchase.
Lower units
Drain and refill unit, most are shipped dry. Replace the water pump impeller on Used
units. Check the shift rod adjustment where applicable. Insure that shaft
splines and their mates are clean and free of burrs, grease them lightly. After
first tank of fuel run through, drain and refill oil on rebuilt units to remove
any grit that may accumulate from the break-in of new parts.
Power heads
The number one failure of 2 stroke powerheads is piston damage from
detonation. The causes of this are numerous,
but it is most often attributed to a
lean fuel mixture at high power levels. This causes combustion temperature and
pressures to skyrocket, causing broken rings, and molten pistons. The entire
fuel system should be checked from the anti-siphon valve, and vent in the fuel
tank to the jets in the carburators. It is recommended that the main jets size
in the carbs be increased by 2 sizes, and the full timing advance reduced by 2
degrees to help reduce the effects of oxygenate in todays gasoline. Certain oil
injection systems seem to be responsible for engine failures. Without entering
this controversy, it should be said that the most reliable oiling system is oil
mixed with the fuel by you the owner.
All powerheads will come
with break-in instructions, and these should be followed to the letter to
insure a long lasting repair. The following items should be considered
mandatory in a powerhead replacement: Clean and rebuild carbs, Rejet according
to latest service bulletin, or recommendations above, Replace; thermostat(s),
and water pump impeller, and replace all fuel filters, and rebuild or replace
the fuel pump(s). This will add 100-400 to the price of the job, but this is a
small price when compared to doing the whole job over.
Inboard engines: Refer to the warranty package attached to your
engine.
