Well I have lost reverse and the oil is black so I guess it's time to talk to Eric. Forward works fine but In reverse at an idle it still spins forward and when I rev it up it spins faster in forward. I double checked the linkage too. Also the dirty neutral has gotten worse. On a positive note the engine sounds great. Carb is dripping a little after its off, do I need to adjust the float up or down for that? Think I should replace needle and seat as well? ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

Justin, It sure sounds like you broke the reverse clutch plates. One good thing and it's even advertised on the FFM site is they use a replacement that's not supposed to break. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yup I sure broke something. Strange thing is I never had a problem before but as soon as I reinstalled started leaking fluid the reverse takes a dump. Oh well it's the only thing that hadn't been rebuilt and it's 25 years old ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

| Yes, engine and transmission rebuilt, near finished. Vince is a good guy, he is a pleasure to deal with. Eric thanks for your help, your knowledge and skill is why I took my old SN to FFM. I will work on the gel and graphics,interior myself, but I am not a mechanic, I didn't want to be towed in after skiing because my old high hour engine would not run. |

I may have to bite the bullet and send it to the man, Im tired of wrenching on it, but I am also tired of spending money on it. I just changed the wheel bearing in the audi and that used up my last shred of patience. Im an accountant for petes sake! ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |
