Here is a link to the listing we have on our store site. ...
We have a early Koenig engine that we have been told is a B engine. The serial number is 0301AH does that coincide with a B. If not could a number have been switched?
David
I still have the red mud encrusted class entry list which I have posted on here previoiusly.
I was there. It was raining so hard I could not make the turn down the ramp to the pits so I was the first one up in the state park. We had our St Bernard with us who was supposed to sleep under...
Including John Schubert, hi John
When replacing the fabric covering on a hydro we use Ceconite purchased from Aircraft Spruce and Supply. Follow directions that come with it and use their paint to finish off the process. We use...
In latest purchase Alan & I acquired FB 193 along with a few other looper parts. This engine is on 20H conversion mid section
I have FY 20 a stock 20H conversion.
David
Al, Yes I have been there. It was very enjoyable, Mark and Elaine are great people. I first met them when they picked up the red nosed Sid Craft and the Christener 20H at my house in Port Orange,...
I was beginning to wonder, but you saved the best for last in my opinion. The Christener 20H and Sid Craft. Best regards and happy fathers day Mark.

Alan and I had a neat tow vehicle, not quite a van but I guess it was close. It was 1950's Willy's panel truck that once was used by our father as a survey crew truck. Always had problems with the...
Brutus makes the best tools, lol
1969 EORC Roster,
Nick Chapman mentioned in the article is the one that got Alan into Boat Racing. He worked as a salesman at Shirley Long Island, a large land development which our father did all...
The difference between the top and bottom throws is usually corrected when the bottom bearing is installed which will force the crank up to the correct end play. It looks like the left side and...

I do not know if this has an effect on your current problem but it looks like in the photo's that the reed stops are not set to the same height. One appears to be open so nearly touching...
If some one could ask John Timmons to inquire of Charlie Strang (sp) we might get a factory tested HP rating for the 20H conversion.
In my 20H Book I have a letter from Strang while he worked at...
Squared ports still need an minimum 1/8" radius in the corners on exhaust ports. This improves flow and helps control heat build up which will distort the cylinder roundness. Per Harry Brinkman.
We have found Doug Kay to a great job for us. View our website at Aeroliner-boats.com to see some of the work he has done. He can be reached at 586-212-5917.
I am not familiar with this unit at all but it sounds like it could be a slightly bent shaft.
David
The engine was owned by a Mercury dealer in MN. He kept it in a case in his home. It will be in the museum Alan is building.
Alan is on his way to pick up a brand new never run 20H complete with new tank. This engine has been stored in a glass case since new. Show have some pictures available in a few days after he...
Here are a few more numbers to digest. The H length driveshaft for the KG4 & 7 H and the original 20H is 45-20909, the 30H part number is 45-25726 the 25SS part number is 45-65844 which uses a...
Early gear conversions that used the original gear case required some minor scraping of the inside for clearance. When I put Alan's conversion together for him in 1959 the instructions that came...
I have S/N 789594 a late engine purchased from Jon Woods estate still with the factor seal and all with original paint on the short skeg gear case. So I wonder were the deep skeg cases used...
Tim,
The boat and engine look terrific. Good luck in September.
David Van Weele
Wolfgang,
Your pictures did not come through so we can not see what you have. Try posting them again?
David
John, You probably have to Jo what scale you need them made to.
David
These boats are terrific. Last fall I met Jo in Colonge Germany and he took my wife and I out to a great German beer drinking establishment. I had helped him with a few things during the begining...
Glen, just click on the word attachment, it worked for me.
David
I assume you are asking about 8MM performance plug wires? To do that you would have to drill or mill out the hole in the cap for each wire, this is a delicate operation since the material of the cap...
Tim Look at the number of post credited to you. Neat, 444 post showing the 444 and the 666. Some of us have warped minds, is not 666 the devils number?
David
The lower bearing carrier is that of a KG7, the 20H were straight across the front and a rounded triangle and there is no stripe cast into the starboard side of the cylinders on the outside of the...

Received your email and now see your post here. I would suggest Doug Kay in Detroit area for the work you need done.
David
I have had a question asked of me that I can not answer.
What is the length of a 25XS Drive shaft (later model) and are the splines on the top the same as a 20H or 30H or something different....
We have run the 4 carb 44 CI engine that Doug Kay built with all of the Brinkman Mod's plus a few of his own and have consistently turn over 9000RPM
David
I found this on Ebay, looks to from the early 50's
Pete
I looks like the prop is lying on the floor behind the engine.
David
I am in the process of selling a nice 25XS and the purchaser would like to have a prop for this engine. He will be using the engine on a Jupiter hydro which weighs about 140 pounds and with him...
Sam
Did you not read Waynes post about how he cleaned up his engine so I just thought I would add how I did cleaned up of the Konig I purchased. If you would stop and get off your high horse and...
This VB70 Konig was castor stuck when purchased and the outside was also pretty nasty. I soaked it in t tub of kerosene for three weeks, took it apart and wiped it down with dry cotton rags. I...

While visiting Harry Brinkmans stoage building a few years ago I took these pictures of two boats I was told were DeSilvas. They were brand new and at that time were for sale. I do not know if Mike...
Bob
Are you trying to say you sell parts?
Sam
Some real nice pictures of a historic time in our sport. Thanks for all of you efforts and help in our endeavors to help save all of the various racing engines of the past.

I went into my carb collection and find the KC14A is 1-1/16". I only have one.
I found a pair of 1-3/16" carbs in the pile.
David
I think he meant Alumin. reed cage and to grind the front edge of the reed stop so he could bend them up to allow the reed stop to be bent up. That way the stop will not hit the crank. That is just...
Doug Kay does great work, he has produced some winning engines for us. His contact info is 586-212-5917

I spoke with Alan yesterday who is at the NBRA nationals. Alan's son JR won the first heat of D Mod Hydro. Nailed the start, not bad for someone that has only been in a race boat for 4 months, this...
That is a great story, glad you posted it for all of us to share. Us old timers have a lot of memories.
