This is what happens when you don't have time to get the good clutch cover.

It burst in to flames, burning brake line and all seals in planetary.

Then, is when I should have thought to remove the caliper.
That's all that's left of it from not having fluid to hold pads still. I removed what was left of the caliper, it just cracked to shit.

Disc locked up and ripped right out of planetary. Engine bogged for about a second before it flew off.

Foreman is estatic.




Sorry to hear that dude, can those seals be easily replaced?

Yeah, just big sure what the $ gonna be.

*not sure

I guess u had reverse for one trip. I bet it was fun while it lasted.

Yeah, I should have it back together this week.

Damn dude, that GT reverse was to much for a MB I guess. I can see why the Ol G-man could never copy it.

Lol Ronnie, I think it's the other way around.

So how was it working prior to the meltdown of the cover?

Flawlessly

Won't have to worry about one melting here in the near future

That's right, the good cover would have avoided all this in the first place.

What caused this in the first place, did you have your pads to tight, were you not fully engaging the reverse and barely squeezing the handle? If it happened while you were running then your pads were the culprit of this fire, something happened to mine but luckily i had my trusty Aluminum cover on. Only happened because i can't stop trying to adjust stuff.

I was right behind him. I started smelling a burining plastic smell bad. Smelled like someone had a huge pile of burning GI Joes. It kept getting stronger and I started looking around my boat thinking I was the one on fire. Then I looked forward and saw the flames. There was melted plastic everwhere.

The crossover exhaust set it on fire.

Dam I got 400 hrs on a plastic one !! Never even had hint of it burning up!!

Terry, that's because you have a pussy exhaust. Lol

rod u shoulda got the 2n1 single, the outlet is further out might woulda cleared your plastic cover. clears the plastic cover on the gt so far.
