Thank you all once again, i've sent the muffler off to a mate of mine to weld a pipe off of the muffler and the leather strap works great ( i've spent most of the day creating an electric motor start but the leather works much better and doesnt detract from the boats orginality); although my leather belt is now just a buckle.
I'm going to try and find a boat club around here, but with current lockdown restrictions i'm unsure if that'll be all that easy..
I've a few cosmetic bits to finish whilst im waiting on the exhaust / muffler to be done, but I am hoping to take it on our lake beginning of next week..
Cheers

Morning Martin, i presume that the belt and electric motor doesnt disengage once the engines fired up? I can certainly build something although space inside the boat is at a premium now. Regards the fuel tank, it seems to keep pressure, the orange tube off of the top of the tank id have thought was only a breather tube?
I'll have a look through the instructions that i was given for the 30. Im just wondering as the exhaust system is a custom built copper. Unsure where i would put the breather tube on to the exhaust... i'll do some more reading..
Thankyou everyone for all the assistance, it's greatly appreciated.

Morning, thanks for this, yes it is water cooled. The pull start is a bit of a nightmare, there is no built in pull start return so im using a piece of cord and having to keep rewinding it, i agree it is very tempremental, but im getting there slowly.
One question. Im thinking of putting a fireboard between engine and fuel tank. There wasnt one when i was given it but im unsure as to the amount of heat that it will produce, the exhaust is something that the old bloke created, im unsure what was meant by a pipe going back into fuel tank? Ive attached a couple of pictures..
Lastly im a director for a social enterprise and we have a boating lake and fishing lake, im looking to create an rc club, once ive set it up would it be ok to promote the club on here?
Many thanks Daz

Hi, many thanks for this, i've got a steep learning curve.
I'll have a play and read up on the link.
I'm sure i'll be in touch ( quite often) asking for help.
Thanks again

Hello,
I have been given an old boat, it has an OS MAX 40rc engine. I've rebuilt the boat for an old bloke who used to own it.
I know nothing about mechanical engines anyone that can give me a bit of mentorship with this engine i'd greatly appreciate.
The glow plug works fine and the nitro fuel is 15% ( on the advice of the local model shop).
From reading (lots of) i have a basic understanding, but i would presume that i have to put oil in it somewhere so it doesnt seize up, i really dont have a clue and dont want to bugger it up having spent months rebuilding the boat, reciever, controller and wooden hull. The boat is circa 1970. I'd really like to get it working for him; so he can see it before he passes away( he's 84)..
Thanks in advance
Daz
