Hi Charles How much of measure tub ? 41" or 43" look small tank

 

[Brian Sorgente]

Typically guys will add a "tipi" so to speak to the top of the main tank to increase capacity. Walt Barney can help you with this.

Not so sure I would want to add 4 oz of fuel to the tail weight. Plus the boat will run different as fuel burns from the rear tank.

Oh I see not enough tank( your small tank " 67" about less 15 oz) . It is really fast powerfull also will fly " roostertail over" . I had sold my special 80 SGX with CMB91 VAC also Andy Brown gave me double turn fin because can bend from hard push turn and Walt Barney built big tank 20oz to fit on tub

Have Walt make you a tank with a "V" in the top.....I just got rid of a 67sgx that had one. I think it was about an extra 2oz....

Dont know if that is a MAC #1394 with a 1 inch head pipe? But if it is?? it sholuld telescope over the header to keep the direct flame off the header material. If it is a MAC #1395 we normally cut that pipe & welded a 1 inch head pipe into it. So it does telescope over rthe header. 50 percent or 60 Nitro with 20% oil. during break in Make sure the fuel filter stays clean. If your Not running a Fuel Filter?? You need to to keep the needle assembly clean And flowing fuel. Also need Large pipe pressure fitting 10/32 size & all Large Fuel Tubing and 5 /32 tubing in tank....... Your looking for approx 150 degree operating temp. And Make sure the water pressure line is Zip tied everywhere.... Especially to the rudder blade water fitting. the Only other mod you could do to the engine is Have Steve Wood build Brass head button for it.... after you get it broke in and ready to race..
