    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    I kept trying to find info on the 167 and couldn't find anything, glad to know it's junk.

    So, I bought a carb rebuilt kit, while going through the carb, I found water in the carb. Bleh. At least I figured out the problem. Switching to the fuel bladder setup soon.

    Tried that, won't even start. Factory setting is 1 1/8 on high and 1 3/8 on low. Has a WA167A carb on it.

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    First test run after the new pipe and prop, night and day difference. i'm having problems with it staying running and starting after it gets warm. i wonder if the coil is bad, its like 30 years old.

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    It should get along pretty good, I'm honestly having a great time tinkering with it and working on it. Tinkering with this has got me wanting to do a scratch build, I may attempt a 1/10 electric crackerbox. I've also got a little abs 20” deep v that warehouse hobbies sold 20 years ago, my...

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    i've thought it was a 45" this whole time, you're the only one that said its a 55", thats stuck in the back of my head for the past few weeks, yesterday i broke out the tape measure, sure enough, its a 55" kind of a bummer, the extra 10" is going to require more motor than i have to get it...

    Ordering new prop, header, pipe, and prop balancer tomorrow. Joe at zippkits said I only need one water pickup, so the extra one is going. I think I'm going to try the 7016/3

    Mid 50s would be absolutely wild. I feel like right now we're probably in the mid 20s, Honestly, I just love tinkering with it trying to make it faster.

    The nipple coming out the side of the pipe, does that need to be hooked to the fuel tank vent like a nitro? Or is it for water cooling the pipe? Also, how hot should this be running?

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    I've played with the strut height a little, I can find a happy medium where it revs and goes, but it feels like a n/a RX7, it's great at turning gasoline into noise. I did notice the starboard trim tab wasn't mounted flush with the bottom of the hull, I'm fixing that and I was told to sand...

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    It's got a prather 275 on it now. My uncle did some work to it, I'm unsure if it was helpful or harmful.

    45" Dumas scarab, a classic.

    Just checked, it's got a prather 275 prop on it. The strut was adjusted almost all the way up, I lowered it a bit and just did a test run at the lake. Got half a lap then it started down pouring, the lake is 5 minutes away but it sucks when there are people fishing and dogs off a leash, I'm not...

    That was the first thought in my head after I picked the boat up. I'm not doing it that way again. Thanks for looking out.
