Hello guys. I am new to mud motors and could really use your help. I just picked up a Beavertail longtail with a Honda gx620 20hp engine. I rebuilt the carbs on this thing today and need to know what the revs should be at idle and WOT while outside of the water. The engine has a tiny tach hooked up to it. It is spinning a 9x5 prop that has very little wear. I have ordered the plugs, fuel filter, oil filter, air filter and will be cleaning up both the engine and longtail this weekend. What do you recommend for greasing the shaft? Do I just hook up my grease gun to the only zerk fitting on the longtail and go to town? Please advise me as I am lost. I tried to find literature on the beavertail website but did not see much. The longtail will be pushing a Polar Kraft 1442. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Jimmy

I typically turn my GX620 around 4000. Don't be scared to spin that thing, it's not a Briggs ;)

When the governor is surging this means the mixing screw isn't set right correct?
