hey Dion

That motor should be about 18 months old and seen lots of run time so a sugestion for you is I replace my bearings every season or earlier if I am doin a big race meet. If they fail it can destroy the engine so keep em fresh mate.

Must be the younger generation new way of talking.

Bit beyond me

It's not only the younger generation, some parts of the world have their way of saying

Hey Guys

Well another interseting day at Penrith today

saw

Ginos Nemisis really start to shine,after a late night and plenty of work it arrived to day fitted with a new engine

CMB?,Nova? you ask

No a Piped K&B 7.5

Let me say this looked right at home on that boat with a little work on cleaning up the weight issue so it looks good i think we have a very good 7.5 Outboard in the club.

There is a pic in my gallery.

Had to leave and missed Tim Ds Tunnel run so hopefully Tim will fill us in when he reads this

Greg

Thanks Greg, appreciate all your assistance today too mate.

Yes, the Nemesis does like that piped 7.5. Seems to handle it very well.

I was test pilot for Tim's boat today and man does that Tiger have some go, this will definitely put a cat amongst or should I say tiger amongst the pigeons.

Take care

Gino

 

[David Kingston]

hope it starts working well for you Gino.

Ive heard about the trying time that you have had with the boat.

I;ll be there at the winter spectualar to catch all the action.. cannot wait.

also on another now.

Does any body have a lawless strong arm 3.5 flex shaft for sale, or ordering some time soon. I would like to get one plus a spare.

I actually snapped one, in an electric of all things.

Thanks

Thanks Dave,

yes you heard right, it has been very trying to say the least. Tim Duggan, Dave Hatcliffe and I threw everything at this thing only to hit a wall at the end of every testing session, so much so that it literally nearly hit my garage wall in shear frustration.

So I stood back and said well, what can we do with this thing? We've thrown everything at it except a 7.5 o/b - actually that sounds not a bad idea at 31.5 inches the Nemesis should handle it.

So like Greg said, after burning the candle at both ends I ended up with what you see in the pic.

I'll guess we'll have to see how it heat races now.

I wonder what Grim has to say about this new setup

Gino's 7.5 nemesis went really, really well once he got it tuned. It's the happiest I've seen Gino at the pond in a long time! I think when his new 3.5 boat is ready he'll be even happier! The true test will be rough water - we had awesome conditions at the pond yesterday.

We had yet another "newbie" show up with a 3.5 O/B tunnel - Greg's first Villain with a K&B on it, and there should be another newb with a lynx in the heats at Penrith in two weeks time. We're going to have to start running two heats for A O/B Tunnel at club level if everyone turns up!

Greg,

Shame you couldn't hang around a little bit longer - the WOF30 went "like a tiger!" I'm much happier with it now than I was two weeks ago, and now I can start on making some changes to net some more speed. Prop in particular could do with some tweaking......... as well as a few other little motor "adjustments" :lol: :lol:

Sounds good Tim.

How did the pipe go for you? did you manage to shorten it a bit more?

[Tim_Duggan]

Hi Dave,

I used the NR21OB w" 0.270 stinger at 8 7/8" plug to start of rear cone yesterday. It's the first time the boat has run at any sort of speed so I wasn't too concerned with making the pipe shorter, just about getting the boat to handle well and to shake off any "new boat bugs". I do think the pipe's too long at this length but I need to try a few other things before I shorten it. The TT's exhaust timing is currently a bit too conservative and I need to fix that before I shorten the header. It's also under - compressed, so I need to try a different head button config first, to see if deto becomes an issue. I'm thinking this pipe is going to be up there with the old benchmark pipe from the last time I raced TT's.... so low 50's should be very possible.

The head temp was perfect with 3 fins and the plug looked as shiny as a new one in the packet. I didn't push the limits of how lean it would go, just ran it at the point where it just cleaned out from a 4 stroke on the bench.

The FF21 #2 had it's first run yesterday B) All concerns about being slightly heavier are now completely gone

It's now going into storage until April 20.

Tim.

Gino,

If all else fails, I have a really big electric motor motor for it. just paint the words K&B on the side and no one will know... lol... here is a site to check out an electric tunnel. Pity it is not the best driving, although the guy only had the boat setup the night before. (top 3 videos are the best)

All the best with it.
