    got a 96 blaster dual carb it has an aftermarket pipe, head, flame arrestors, just bored 1 over with new engine seals & factory carbs fully rebuilt. I think the reeds are original, so it is time to replace / possibly upgrade technically you could call my setup modified, cause it isn't...

    96 WB1 jetting after rebuild w/ pipe & head & oil mix

    that seems like a fairly large needle & seat. What spring are you running? Even with a 115gr spring, I still think you will be considerably low for the pop off. I'm learning about this as I go, I don't know what the effects will be with considerably low popoff. But with a 2.3 NS, I don't...

    96 WB1 jetting after rebuild w/ pipe & head & oil mix

    I got another question. I rebuilt the engine, I went 1 size larger on the main jets (just to make sure that the reason it blew up in the first place wasn't a lean condition). I ran the first tank thru it with the 1 size larger jet, but it is running too rich. So I went back to the jets that...

    Adhesive recommendation bonding aluminum to fiberglass - Liquid nails?

    I spoke to the local autobody supply store and they said that u418 isn't made by 3m that the u418 cross references to a different brand. Regardless, they said that all windshield urethane is extremely flexible when cured. They said that elasticity is 700% for windshield urethane which allows...

    Adhesive recommendation bonding aluminum to fiberglass - Liquid nails?

    its for a 1/2 couch (ultra 150), I get better & faster replies on here vs pwctoday, so I post questions on here even if it isn't standup or blaster related. That might be what is throwing you off with the design. I don't know how they do it with standups, as I never paid attention when I had...

    Adhesive recommendation bonding aluminum to fiberglass - Liquid nails?

    that is how it was put together from factory. there is the driveshaft bearing holder, then the driveshaft boot, then the aluminum driveshaft housing which covers the thru-hull hole for the driveshaft It looks like they didn't scuff the fiberglass to give the glue something to bite to when they...

    Adhesive recommendation bonding aluminum to fiberglass - Liquid nails?

    thanks for the reply. that looks like standard 2 part epoxy. I've used that stuff in the past and it bonds well, but i find that it is runny and it doesn't seal up gaps very well either. It should work perfect for what you are doing with the inserts. I need to bond the aluminum driveshaft...

    Adhesive recommendation bonding aluminum to fiberglass - Liquid nails?

    I've used 2 part epoxy in the past and it works well but often find that it is a bit runny & thin making it difficult to use on verticle surfaces (it runs out before setting up, plus because it is so thin it doesn't fill in voids (1/4") very well. I need to bond an aluminum plate to the...
