Next I removed the governor and put it all back together. I have never built a motor and I have to say it was pretty easy. It started first try you have to love that.

it ran great i need a different exhaust on it this one sits on the fuel lines but other than that it works great cant wait to start fabin up the mounts and everything else.

p.s. does anyone have picks and a write up on there bearings setup.

I started my mount for the motor last night I am going With the c clamp design just seems like the easy thing to do. I am toying with the idea of mounting two pillow blocks for the Y plane and then using something like a bolt for the X plane. wanted to know what others have done for there mounts any pics would be appritiated i was going to take pics last night mut my camera battery crapped out and i didnt think about using my iphone. anyways Ill try and get some pics up tonight.

i just used the c-clamp design. thought it was simple and portable if i wanted to switch boats for some reason. just tighten both clamps before and after you head out and should have no problems.
