    Thanks for the replies! I've weighed the floats with my small electronic scale, and also my reloader scale that weighs in grains. Both say the floats are fine, and they give the same weights although when I do the conversion from grains to grams from the reloader scale, it goes out a few more decimal points... I suppose it is the IVO prop like some of you have mentioned. I had a powerfin prop, but sold it a month or so back. Wish I had it now to see if there was a difference. I'm thinking of trying a two blade warp drive, I have three matching blades and both 2 and 3 blade hubs, but I think a three blade 72 " square tip will be a bit to much prop for an 80 HP. JImChuk

    I’m running a 912S with Hal’s big bore kit. Sensenich 3 blade prop. Large crossover tube

    Same vibration problem in that rpm range. I’ve tried the balance ring
    on the prop n have a balance ring on the engine. Still vibrates.
    I took the balance ring off the prop then carefully balanced the engine at
    about 5300 rpm. I think it’s smoother without the balance ring
    but still haven’t figured out the issue at 3500
