I have tried the prop swap yes, not the problem. I sure thought that wobble looked bad as well. I know the coupler is mostly rubber so I thought maybe (especially after the marina mechanic blew...

I did check the gimble after they installed it and it spun smooth as silk. An alignment problem won't cause a vibration? If not, it's got to be the drive or the coupler. I will pull it and see...

When I called SEI they told me they would be suspicious of the coupler too. They said that old drive coming apart like it did may have been hard on the coupler. I stuck my hand down on the...

Growl/vibration in the floor

so my old alpha 1 died a horrible death, ran it low on oil and broke everthing in the upper. I bought a brand new SEI entire drive and bolted it on, but not before having the local marina replace my...

I emailed SEI about my noise and they said not to worry. They are a little whiney at first. Justin said it would quiet down a little once it is broken in, but will never be as quiet as a Merc. OK

Sterndrive Engineering INC Alpha one outdrives???

That would be awesome thanks! Let me know, I can paypal you the shipping. Not pulling the engine again would be a bonus! With my current risers which I'm pretty sure are 3", the diverters angle...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Yes, I can run right up to 4600-4800 in no time, with 1 person or 6 people in the boat, but then it just kinda stops! I figured it was because I was running the stock intake manifold and exhaust, I...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Good to hear that Carbs Unlimited is reputable. I am using Comp's XM262H (pn 12-236-3) and its in a 1984 Webcraft 23. I will probably order 2 or 3 different jet sizes from Carbs Unlimited from...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Putting the old needle and seat seemed to take care of the running out of gas issue, and premium fuel seems to have taken care of the predetonation issue! I was still a little gunshy, but I ran it...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Hey Liberator 21
Have you had good luck with Carbs Unlimited? I called the guy and he's kind of a dick! He does have jet kits, and the .147 needle and seats I need though. How long does it take...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Hey Ratman, do they make the 700 dbl pumper in a Marine version? Also, this is probably a little overkill, but my bro-in-law flies for a living, and told me where I can buy 100 Low lead for $2.70....

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

Where does a guy get non-stock parts for a Q-jet. It's easy to get parts for Holleys and E-brocks, but Q-Jets? Is there a web site anyone knows about?

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

One more question. This is in an 84 boat, so it has a 3" wishbone exhaust pipe. Do I need to worry about exhaust restrictions at 4500-5000RPM's? I have heard people say not to run hot motors at high...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

I think you are all right about the lean condition. It is the stock carb off of the boat, which was a 260. when I rebuilt it the only thing I changed from stock, was the secondary metering rods. I...

Re: Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

That makes sense. Starving for fuel could be due to a couple things. I just rebuilt my Q-jet myself, and could have screwed something up, or maybe the qjet/stock manifold need to be upgraded to...

Power drops at WOT and starts rattling!

re: Rebuilt 383 in Boat, newly rebuilt Quadrajet

Problem 1: At WOT (4500-4800RPM) it will run for half a mile or so, then start losing RPM's till it...
