I have the lower unit off right now for a new impeller and I will see if I can wobble the exhaust hosing either by hand or with a broom handle from below. If I can’t wobble or move it I am going to stop on the project for now I have to get some stuff done here to get out of here for this season which that darn hurricane in November has put me behind or I would already be gone. If I can wobble the exhaust housing then I will pull the power head before leaving. I don’t have the grommet either for the upper tube it isn’t in the gasket kit and I would rather take my time on that.
The owner is going to leave it here in my shed in Florida until I return down in about 3-4 months. If he needs it I have a friend here that can open up my shed and give it to him but he has 2 good runners right now that I went thru so he has a spare and this would make 3 if need be.
You mentioned you might have some parts for this engine do you have part number 396555
The owner would like to have an 8hp we already have the reed valve assembly part number 393359 and the 8hp exhaust tuner inner part number 329048 coming. The carb the shop put on the engine is supposedly an 8hp carb I am not sure if it is or is not I did measure where the air goes into the carb and on the old 6hp carb he brought me that I rebuilt was about 30mm and the same on the carb that is currently on the engine the back of the old 6hp carb that bolts up to the engine was about 20mm. I have not taken the new carb off to see what jets are in it yet or how big the back diameter of it is.
Thanks,
Joe
ps I used a very long flat head screwdriver and could not budge the exhaust tube in any direction.
