Sounds good David. Looking forward to seeing your boat in the water!

 

[David Bryant]

was that the initial break-in run on that engine?

 

[David Ashcroft]

I have a couple of tanks thru the engine bench only,, ,, may get some water time on the weekend hopefully..if it don't rain..

[anthony_marquart]

you are going to melt your starter belt,.. Engine idles real well.. usually my breakin runs like that are at WOT and the so rich it will only run just above idle..

Move your starter belt!!!

 

[David Ashcroft]

Yeah that belt is a old scrappy one ,got some spares ...

On the 90 engines I don't like WOT at breakin ,,,on the 21 engines I do run WOT at very wet setting.

The huge gap between the header and the pipe does not look too reliable.

The engine sounds fine.

Did the shaft overheat while running dry during this ?

 

[David Bryant]

Dave, are you running stock CMB .45VAC carb?

 

[Scott Miller]

David,

Was wondering how the maiden voyage went? How do you like the boat so far?

I thought he was leaner when he pinch tank pressure line never went leaner

 

[ace]

lucky he never put the boat in the water the fuel pick ups were to the right of the tank, turn right fuel goes left ,no fuel and the radio box had more holes in it than a sieve, I basically had to rebuild the whole boat it now has as rs 101 and is quick but engine is still bloody tight . cheers Ace

 

[Scott Miller]

Thanks for the update Ace

 

[ace]

This is what the boat looks like now minus the vac 90 as its got a RS 101 in it now ,cheers Ace

 

[moparbarn]

Damn, that looks GOOD!!

 

[David Ashcroft]

Hey Ace I back on the scene after a holiday my build may not be perfect ,,sometimes forget stuff while on the job,,did you run the mod 91 ,how she go ..

 

[ace]

Hi David it went well , but kept frying the big end bearings ,so she now has a modified 101rs an it hauls A$$. Cheers Ace
