Printable Version of Topic -HD Forums +--Forum: Boat Tech +---Topic: Update! started by GoFastRacer Posted by: GoFastRacer on June 30 2003,8:51 am Wow couldn't believe it, since the injectors were put back together by total guesstimation, I figured I'd go though a couple of batteries before it started, but the POS fired up instantly and just sat there ran. A slight adjustment on the barrel valve and the throttle was all that was needed. Of course the real test is to put a load on it. Only thing (which I kinda suspected would happen) the idle isn't as smooth as it should be due to sloppyness in the shafts. So the next thing I will do is put bushings in, that will take of that!...:good BTW, check out the state of the art, high tech, neighbor pleasing exhaust system!....:laugh Posted by: AZKC on June 30 2003,9:43 am Cool that it fired right up, sweet test stand ya got there that takes away alot of guess work. Saw one similar in a PAW catolog the wanted $700   Now get those bushings done and put it the boat, I want to go for a ride   KC Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 01 2003,5:54 am Thanks, your name is on the passenger seat bud!. I seen that stand, mine costed $50, LOL, and when I'm done I can hang it on the wall out of the way!.. Posted by: 87 Cole on July 01 2003,8:39 am GFR, Sweet looking engine. Now Quit looking at it on the stand and put it where it belongs and get wet   Posted by: miller19j on July 01 2003,9:08 am It looks really good!     But one question isn’t the church going to miss their pipe organ?

Took it all apart again today, sending it in to get bushings put in for the shafts(damn, I wish I had the equipment to do it myself), they are way to sloppy!. Hope I get them back for the weekend but I dought it!, OH well!..       Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 01 2003,6:48 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- It looks really good!     But one question isn’t the church going to miss their pipe organ? -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!.     Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 16 2003,7:41 am Well got the injectors back, man did they do a nice job. Just got to put them back together and on the motor. Should have it running on Sat and in the boat Sun and next week, put a load on it!, yeahhh!..   Posted by: AZKC on July 16 2003,7:52 am Where you thinkin of puttin in the water? Maybe we can test and tune together   KC Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 16 2003,7:55 pm I'll be going to Bartlett on Sat morning, you can launch right off the beach, don't have to worry about blocking the launch ramp. Since I don't have the faintest idea how it's going to run under load, I may be doing quite a few adjustments who knows?? But hey, come on up, be nice to meet you guys   I'll even take ya for a ride in a real boat!..   Posted by: AZKC on July 17 2003,7:34 am We'll see how it goes KC Posted by: 87 Cole on July 17 2003,8:43 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- We'll see how it goes KC -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- KC, Good luck on the motor this weekend. ( Really ) and you guys be safe. GFR hope all runs well for you also. Hope to see you on the water soon. Hey bye the way how far are you from Yuma AZ. I'm heading back out that way to Lake Martinez for the next 3 weeks in a row after Lake San Antonio this week end. Maybe we can hook up   Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 17 2003,7:05 pm Thanks Cole, I'm about 200 mph from Yuma, where is Martinez, I've heard of it many times but never been there, is it a cool place. Maybe we can hook up if I can get away!..   Posted by: blown 472 on July 18 2003,5:38 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Thanks Cole, I'm about 200 mph from Yuma, where is Martinez, I've heard of it many times but never been there, is it a cool place.

On schedule or     KC Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 20 2003,7:33 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- So, how did it go? On schedule or     KC -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Yes indeed, right on schedule!.   Got her fired up yesterday, man does it idle sweet now. With the new bushings in and a proper spool for the barrel valve, it just sits there and runs. So today, it goes in the boat and it's off to the lake next Saturday for the real test!, HeeeHawww!.       Posted by: AZKC on July 20 2003,10:05 am Probably going to try and make it(80%) to Bartlett for the day. Going to fire mine today......or at least try     KC Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 20 2003,9:04 pm Hope to see ya out there!

Maybe we can hook up if I can get away!..   -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- GFR, I'm planning a trip to Martinez/River August 1-3. It's about 20 minutes north of Yuma above the Imperial Dam. The water is nice and you don't have big boats on the water. The sandbars are big and all sand. Let's try and pull this off along with AZKC and other HD members.     Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 22 2003,6:58 pm That would be cool , l'll see what the wife has going on, she teaches a lot on Saturdays(makes good $$$  What about noise and speed laws?, any lake Nazis out there?..Be cool to put faces with screen names!..     Posted by: 87 Cole on July 23 2003,8:53 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- What about noise and speed laws?, any lake Nazis out there?..Be cool to put faces with screen names!..     -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- GFR, They don't bother you on the noise deal. No speed limit you just have to use common sense. The water is awesome as the current flows and wakes are knocked down. The only time you need shoes is launching the boat from then on it's all pure sand. Let me know if you can make it. We can setup on a sandbar and throw a few horseshoes. It's AZKC birthday that weekend. It would be nce to get some people together and have a party. Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 23 2003,7:36 pm That sounds bitchin! The wife has classes that weekend but she's going to try and see if she can change it to another week, I'll let ya know in a couple of days!.   Posted by: 87 Cole on July 24 2003,8:02 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- That sounds bitchin!

HE'll know more after testing the boat this weekend. Hope you can make it Posted by: GoFastRacer on July 24 2003,8:56 pm I will know by the weekend what's going down, hope it's a go this sounds like a blast!.       Posted by: GoFastRacer on Aug. 04 2003,8:38 am Well it's ready to go again, spent 6 hrs cleaning this thing from that horrible trip to the local shithole that I never got to run in to begin with!(still fkn pissed). Rearanged my pill holders so they are above the fuel level and easy access. So in two weeks we'll find out how it's going to run!(AT THE RIVER). I'd go this coming weekend but we're going to Long Beach for the circles and to pick up the GN....  Posted by: 87 Cole on Aug. 04 2003,8:55 am GFR, That looks sweet. Let me know later this week if your for sure going to Long Beach for the races and we can hook up. Posted by: miller19j on Aug. 04 2003,8:57 am WOW that looks great! I can’t wait to hear how it runs. Thanks for the update   Posted by: GoFastRacer on Aug. 04 2003,1:44 pm Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to see how it runs myself, can't wait!. Cole, I'll be there Sat for sure, I'm picking up my new project at the same time, look for this boat, I'll mostly be around Jeff W's PS333 or by GN28!. Hope to hook up with ya!..
