The A unit with the loose screws was only run once before about 2 years ago, been in storage since.
Operated about an hour before the screw fell out.
I think these were from 1999 or 2000.
I have a PWC Texas Special and the rear truck falling off never happened to me but I hope it never does happen.

I do have red and blue in the shop.
I use clear fingernail polish instead of Loctite. It works great, is easy to find, and is not overly powerful.
At one time I had the entire PWC Texas Special collection, sold entire set for a fair price, however, I never took it out of the boxes and operated it. It was simply beautiful...Sorry to hear of your issues. Since those days, I have only bought the Legacy versions... Good luck and take care.

LOCTITE® 222™ Purple Threadlocker prevents loosening from shock or vibration, but also allows for simple, hand-tool disassembly without shearing the screw.
Features:
- Low strength
- Easy to remove liquid threadlocker
- Typically used with small screws up to 1/4".
- The optimum temperature range is -65º F to 300º F.

Purple is the correct loctite product. Be careful using blue. Using on small screws can make a permanent lock just like the red.

The correct size motor mount screw is 6:32x1/2....
