[poly]

not at all, if they do the job thats koooool

[jasonb]

even if i have to get a new impellor and at worse piston and rings its cheaper then a new prop shaft for the merc ,and will go like a new one ,,,,i hope

[jasonb]

i just gotta see where online i can get parts and what ones are still available

[poly]

strike me Jas i hate to say this but i think u will find it very hard to get the bits u need, dam i hope i am wrong :o :o :o

[jasonb]

ive had a bit of a google and there is a few places around ,but i will know more when i find out what models they are ,,,sumo thinks he can get some parts for them too,,plus there is a guy called poly that gets me pretty cheap parts ,,,,hahahaahahha

i got me new old motors ,,they look a bit rugged ,but 1 has a good engine and a shitty cowl and broken handle ,and 1 has a seized engine ,the rings are seized but the rest of it is great ,so ill swap the engines and replace the water pump impellor and she should be right ,oh and a coat of paint ,,they are 8hp ,,,,,,the 10hp looks god but it has a hole each side of the leg above the gearbox ,a fairly big hole ,that wont be hard to fix ,,the engine feels good too,so i may end up with 2 out of 3 ,so im happy with that ,,not bad for $51 hey ,,,,,

Good onya Jason, Let us know when you get one up and running, but no pics until you do a paint Job.

[poly]

NO we need before and after photos Sumo, so all can see what a good job Jas dose on them

[SUMOFISHIN]

I've seen some before shots, NOT a pretty site!

[Jumpus GooDarus]

so im lookin at stripping down me old hanimex ,gettin it bored out and get a new piston and rings ,,,,,

Cool !

So you'll have a motor that can take photo's huh ????

[jasonb]

yeah ill get some piccies morrow ,,,i done a search on the model no and ,1 8hp is a 71",the other is a 75"thats the one thats seized ,and the 10 is a 68" 69",but i cant notice anything bad on them except for the holes in the side of the 10hp but with a bit of sikaflex that problem may be solved ,,,,,were still waiting on tamworth bloody chainsaw and mower specialist about the rings for me hanimex ,,but even though if i cant get any i can take a bit off the head and get a bit more compression ,,but she still goes anywho ,,,,whats wrong with a motor that can take piccies jump wasnt that long ago we had mobile phones that did it ,,,aw wait they still do ,,,,haahahahh,,saves carrying a camera about ,,,just face the motor and smile ,,,,

Jas there is some goo called cemeweld that we used to fix the holes in the rocker covers on B.M.W. MOTOR BIKES and it worked a treat, i am not sure of the spelling so cem-e-weld.
when this stuff drys out u can drill it, tap it, and thread it, just like alloy, how long it would last in salt water i have no idea :o :o :o

[jasonb]

thats good poly ill look at that stuff ,,but im in fresh water lololol

[Jumpus GooDarus]

but i cant notice anything bad on them except for the holes in the side of the 10hp but with a bit of sikaflex that problem may be solved ,,,,,

What holes ?????

If in the alooy use Devcon a 2 pack alloy putty

,,,aw wait they still do ,,,,haahahahh,,saves carrying a camera about ,,,

Yeah yeah yeah Hanimex make camera's

[poly]

If in the alooy use Devcon a 2 pack alloy putty

????????? please explain, i have never herd of that one

[jasonb]

jump the 10hp ,above the gearbox and the top cowl the houseing has corroded threw ,it dont worry me much cause the water gets into there anyway with older motors so ill just fill em and tidy them up ,,,,that s if the rest is ok first ,,,,,
