While we were building the 4 carb 44 Merc I looked for carbs from Tillotson and chose one for a cart application. Well they did not intend to do a run for months so I did the same thing in going to...

What a great achievement to take an idea from ones mind and bring it to a running masterpiece. Truly a labor of love. Outstanding project. Thanks for making all of us part of your undertaking.

What an exceptional engine project this looper undertaking is. One can only wonder how many man hours have gone into this labor of love? With all the care in the design and the craftsmanship in the...

Simply outstanding! What a project. Getting close to first fire in the hole.

The workmanship is second to non not withstanding the outstanding engineering. It will be a true thing of beauty when it is running on the water. Can't wait to see the finished product. Also love the...

Outstanding attention to detail! The engine will be to nice to run hard and risk a failure. Hopefully the engine will be sound and set the standard for scratch built projects.

Without a question this creation is an engineering marvel with a blend of new original designed components and some tried and true Mercury items. When the creation comes to life it surely will bring...

The square block on the center fuel pump mount has the fuel inlet at the bottom hose. From the fuel block the upper hose feeds the top pump and the lower feeds the bottom pump. The carbs are all on a...

We run our Merc 44 with two pumps and turn the engine about 8,600 RPM. I know folks that only run a single pump on their 44 MOD engine and it works fine. I am sure the 5 pump configuration will...

Outstanding engineering and workmanship. Very nicely done.

What an art project this is. The engine fully dressed will be a thing to behold. Anyone have a guess at to the speed! If you have the correct boat this engine should fly. Great workmanship! Thanks...

Outstanding craftsmanship! This truly is a labor of love and a project we can all learn from. Running the engine will be the cream on the cake.

Neaded an extra Tool set for the hobby shop and picked it up at Sears. Their sales are great. What was more interesting is that they are back to making the hand tools in the USA. Good job Sears.

Exceptional work! Thanks for posting the design and building of the engine. All of us can learn a lot about what it takes to design and build an engine. This has to be a labor of love.

Hi Gene,
If you will notice the engine wasn't run at max power. During this heat if I remember correctly we were the only legal boat so there wasn't any need to push it. We did find we need a...

This is a video of our 75-H during it's first outing. Mercury six cylinder...

From past 4 cylinder four carb engines that both Tim and Doug Kay built I beleive that there is no way that a cross flow of equel cubic inches can match a the looper relative to pumping efficiency...
