Bob,

I switched from Barry to Lords after a "they're smoother"
recommendation.  I'm thinking I'll switch back after these wear out.
All of my smoothness was attained from the dynamic balance. Changing the
mounts made no difference. I think the softer Lord mounts just let the
motor move more freely on start and shutdown increasing the chance of
cowling contact.  My prop is drooping too. Add washers.  They’re
cheaper.
