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

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

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

Cool !

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

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

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

What holes ?????

If in the alooy use Devcon a 2 pack alloy putty





Yeah yeah yeah Hanimex make camera's

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

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 ,,,,,

Devcon Job jas

Was using the stuff 30 years ago on aircraft .

Have also used it for exactly what you need to do.

It a 2 pack equal mix sets hard & is alot harder to sand/file back than car bog sticks like shit to a blanket

Prob best bet is to go into an auto accessories place & ask for it & read directions & what it can do

Better still just dug up their web site

ps] you can get it in small packs but it's not cheap

thanx mate ,will have a looky

see if this works this is the 10hp ,the second one is whats left of the 8hp that has a good motor ,,the third one is in the workshop,everything is great on it except the rings are seized ,,,,but im gonna look at it after i get the first one goin ,,the good 8hp looks like it may of been rebuilt a few years ago the bore is great and no move ment in the piston or rings ,and all the water galleries are spotless ,,,so keeping fingers crossed

strike me, i think the lower leg in the fist motor is shot, can u separate the power head from it

Geez!

That 1st pic where in hell did you find that motor/camera ??

the motor should come off ,,im gonna see if the leg off the second piccie will fit it ,ive done a few measurements and the externals are the same but depends on the internal size of things,i could glass over it all ,its like that on both sides ,,and was full of concrete ,,,,

got both the 8hp apart today and they look good ,,the seized one is like that because it was left out side without no plugs in it or a cover ,,,but a few famous words from a famous person ,,,,can we fix it ,,yes we can ,,,haahhhahha the 3 of them will be going ,,,,,,the only thing to stop us now is gearboxs ,so i hope there ok ,,,

got both the 8hp stripped ,,now to get the best onto one and the rest onto the other ,,pulled the gearbox apart today and its great ,bought 2 new seals for it and put em in ,,bloody boat shop wanted $23.50 for 2 seals 1"round od by 1/4 round id ,but i got them from bearfast for $1.10 for the exact same thing ,,go figure ,hahhahha,just gotta find out whats the best oil for the gearbox now ,spent an hour trying to change the tilt mechanism over ,,that was fun ,,bloody corrosion ,,but its done too ,,
