Thanks’ Don for responding. All he wants is
to make it a short so he can use it. The
design is making that more difficult than it
could be. Probably not a big deal for you
guys who fed your family fixing these things
but I find them to be a pain and have no
interest in working on them. He has already
determined that cutting off the tube would
be the easiest but not possible with the tools
he has here because of its location. You could
probably do it with a worn down cut off wheel
but no tool, no air. I’ll catch him tomorrow
before he leaves and share what you have
posted. Thanks again for your incite.

I hear ya buddy. I can understand why your buddy does not want to get so involved with this project. So, I am sure, that between the two of you, you can come up with a way to cut 5" off that water tube to avoid pulling the powerhead. Like I said, this looks to be a fresh water engine, so I’m sure crushed water tube grommets are not an issue….
