 Topic: Vibration under accelerationPosted: August-29-2024 at 12:59pm |

I have a 1968 Correctcraft Mustang with 318 225HP.
When accelerating, it vibrates bad but cruise around 30 MPH and under, smooth. 12" X 12" prop redone, new strut bearing, aligned strut and shaft alignment, and engine runs great. Only thing I can think of is mounts. Any other ideas and where to obtain the mounts? Thank you |

My money is on the prop. You say it’s “redone”. Care to elaborate? A new CNC prop is velvet smooth….

Any chance you checked the prop shaft to see if it is straight. There is an allowed run out number to avoid vibration. I forget what is allowable. .003 maybe?

Also, don't dismiss a cold jug or two wires crossed. an 8 will chug on acceleration, then smooth out at cruise
