RE: Thunder Cat 31

I have removed all the lines at one time or another, and have not used any rtv when putting them back without a problem. I do use tie wraps on all of them too just as an extra.

I think the...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

I have to agree on the novice and dangerous comment, but isnt that how novices advance to experts? (blowing things up and finding out how not to lol)

Anyhow from what I have been doing is just a...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

That was going to be my first question as it looks like a lean out failure.

Something I keep reminding myself everytime I am tuning this engine etc is that it gets all of its lubrication from...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

Salt water will make things that much more "fun", and lubing everything up is a must (like your doing etc) , but some things will likely be a problem anyhow since its obvious the materials used were...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

I noticed this while I was re reading the post, and am now wondering if there are common problems with the fuel cap too :(

There has been small amounts of fuel under the tank that have nearly...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

So would the general consensus be to put a new nipple in the fat part of the pipe rather than bothering to mess with making the current one work or stay tight etc?

Thanks all for the speedy replies.

I am going to try and find some time to make the fixes you guys mention, and will see what happens.

I have to admit though its sort of frustrating at...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

Maybe I should ask two different questions.

Are there any good and fast elec models to check out?

Do the gas powered engines (the weed whacker types etc) have these same problems?

And...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

Dan it sounds like you have a carb problem. I didnt get mine in the water until after I had figured out the totally mis adjusted carb, but when first breaking it in on land it ran much like you...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

I have had similar experience too, and the only thing I did to calm it down some was to mess with raising and lowering the prop shaft angle a bit. It has not cured the problem, but did make a...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

Could be cavitation, but keep in mind any boat set up for performance or high speed etc will normally be slow out of the hole, and some do dig a big hole too :)

It can also be a combo of more...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

OK then there isnt any cap. Sorry to over simplifly things.

You still have several options that I know of at least.

One is to figure a way to attach a small but long enough fuel line to the...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

The tube on the bottle does not attach to the nipple on the tank as that is only for pressurizing the...

RE: Thunder Cat 31

RE: Thunder Cat 31

How much water are you guys seeing in the boat?

I have had some every time I ran it, but the only time it was anything that would give me concern is the times it flipped.

RE: Thunder Cat 31

400 grit makes more sense I guess as its a pretty smooth grit etc (its also what I finish small parts with before buffing too so I know it leaves a fairly smooth surface) and the air bubbles (what I...
