Hey Brian, It going out today......

But I would bet that it will still beat some stuff that you are still waiting on!!!!

Sorry about that............

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

since we havebeen talking about everything under the sun on this thread.

check this out, noticed last night, this cracked carb, is modified from stock.

it is bored so big, holes developed in the side from the casting in the pic.

its 54mm at the top

 

[the only couch rider]

that must be one of those top secret full spectrum 54mm taper bore carbs

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

here I marked the holes.

seems like a race ( high rpm) type of mod.
I thought loosing the bombsite made these perform poorly on the bottom end?

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

is that a joke, or a vague reference to something actually relevant?

it was a joke you would need a massive motor to run something that big

[Mouthfulloflake]

I just shipped a 650 longblock (with exhaust) from WA to MI last week.
I put it into a plastic tub, and taped it up with 10 boxes or so. :haha:

I didn't have a box the right size, so I had to tape-make one.
Guy got it yesterday and was happy.
T'was 83lbs and cost $65 to ship via FedEx Ground with 400 bucks insurance.

I have gotten engines shipped in packing peanuts before,no tape over the exhaust or intake just thrown in a box and jammed full of packing peanuts.I also received a seadoo hood that they just taped cardboard over and shipped it,it was destroyed in shipping.Some people just either don't care or don't know any better I guess.:hitwithrock:

I shipped a 701 yesterday and just used a box, but I cut 1/4" luan plywood to teh sizes of the sides of the box to distribute the load an prevent any edges from coming through.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Yeah next time I ship an engine I am just going to wrap it in saran wrap and put a fragile tag on it,

shipping an engine.....

-wrap in plastic bag sprayed with fogging oil.
-seal bag
-place bag in box large enough to accomadate engine
-pour expanding foam around engine
-seal box
-ship to buyer


little excessive but pretty guarantees it will get there in one piece
