Another forum I visit does not allow pictures to be posted. Instead we put our pictures on web hosting site and post a link to the picture. Would that work here? In fact I will give it a try.

The method of construction is identical to the Quincy pipes that I have.

Make it run right and last. Don't make me tow you in again. Had a really nice chat though.

PS: Damn but this is an interesting project![/QUOTE]
I agree, totally.

I know this part was going to be a major problem using a master/link rod design. It seems all options have some kind of weak point. Certainly an interesting project to say the least. I will be...
I think the master/link rod arrangement would be the best way to go. I worked on radial aircraft engines when I retired. I worked in a shop that overhauled/restored all makes of radial engines. A...
I don't know Tohatsu's but 20 degrees? I know modern engines don't need as much lead as older ones but that sounds awful low. Merc 55H's run 40 per the factory but will take more depending on setup....
I am not going to reveal my methods for fear of starting unruly discussion but a long time boat racer showed me how a spark plug reading can reveal timing settings. The timing on these last plugs...
They look pretty lean to me. Also from something an old boat racer show me it looks like your timing is way advanced.

I got an OMC "A" a couple of years ago. I have been running it as received. It has run pretty well but the class , ASR, is getting faster and faster. The motor was set up by Dan Schwartz so I have...
On my Long Haul which I didn't build has 2.5" x 7" rounded fin positioned 29.5" from the rear of the planing surface. It is 9.75" from the edge of the left side planing edge and 20" from the right...
Just a quick comment, if you use an online browser and email like Google Chrome it keeps all your contacts and favorite websites in it's database. That way if you change computers everything is...
It wouldn't take much to make that boat downright dangerous. Can you say 'blowover'? Not fun.

What are you going to be using this motor for? Couple of different ways to do it, for normal everyday use, not too complicated but for high performance you should use a dial gauge and a buzz box.

That is one nice looking motor. I have never had any experience with Chryslers, but looked over a 3 cylinder a couple of months ago. It also looked like a nice design and easy to work on compared...
It will have negligible effect on compression but will change the intake timing to a degree increasing top end with a higher port. The lowering of the port will increase the bottom end. So Hydroplay...
There was a pretty extensive thread about this on John's Old Mercury Site. I don't remember the answer but it did have something to do with the alloy used. You could do a search to find it. It was...
Since I started boat racing I have always pondered the dynamics of the propeller. I can understand the 3 to 6 idea and the loss on the 6 to 9 quadrant, but I never looked at it as drag. I see where...
Most of the guys do shape the Yamato gear cases but we aren't allowed to add a bullet in stock, however in Mod we can. This is what is usually done. I found it makes for quicker turn in on the...
I have always felt that prop design was a dark art, but like anything else science and math are always or should be involved. I recently read the book We Were the Ramchargers and nothing they did...
They both worked for me.

It shouldn't get hot at all. I think they may be prone to failure. I recently redid an older boat with a Merc 650 on it. The choke solenoid was bad and burned down the choke circuit wiring. If...
The oil pump on ours locked up at one point and took out the distributor too. This was in a Ranch Wagon and the only things that didn't break on that car were the trans and differential. It was a...
We had a 1958 352 that broke valve springs all the time. It wasn't that oil couldn't get to the rockers, it couldn't get out and sludged up in the valve covers preventing oil flow. Then the springs...
I read an article a couple of years ago concerning two stroke oils. Ash was one of the subjects discussed and Pennsoil of all brands produced the least amount of ash. Another thing discussed was...
I have plans for a Hal Kelly Airborne that I no longer need. You can have then if you would like. Your boats are way cool.

It is my understanding that some of the early KE7's had this hole also, to help with idle quality. Seems like a half a#$ed way to fix a carburetor design issue. I think my KE7 had it too but I put a...
