    Correct, Sam. Got the photos mixed up.

    PS: Are you going to the Pottstown AOMC show in February? I plan to be there and would like to meet you at last.

    Probably not this year unless there is going to be something there I know about in advance.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    I think Fred is correct

    This by no means is the only advantage or reason. Nice thing about chamber is squeeze is moved down stream to tail cone so you can sqeeze more without burning up stuff which means you can go with alot more port timing and reap more power.

    hope it helps some one out there
    Actually, the top outlet pulse order benefit was consequential.

    Fighting elusive tuning issues with early "down" outlet exhaust systems, I decided to change to "up" outlet as an experiment to dump exhaust into clean air. This change also made engine rigging easy because the "up" pipe did not require a special steering bar.

    Initial complaints of burns caused by incidental contact the "up" pipe on restarts, concern about potential contamination by foreign objects, tall & won't fit in the trailer, etc. These issues were quickly forgotten as the top outlet system tuned easily and seemed to run more consistently than the down versions. Note: It's my guess that water vapor ingestion may have caused tuning inconsistencies.

    Anyway, Anthony is correct that an expansion chamber can ultimately produce more power, but this power comes at the expense of weight and complexity. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, and horsepower for horsepower, there is no better OMC triple exhaust available than my top outlet fabricated steel system. Also to my knowledge not a single megaphone has been dropped in the lake.

    Seeing as they've won numerous national & regional titles and set a competition record, it's become the standard for the SE/850cc class. Good enough there are a few copies built by capable craftsmen. Indeed, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

    Default Good to go!

    OK 49.9 racers,

    There was enough interest that the project is going forward. The pattern is at the foundry and will be back next week for finer tuning. You'll see an update mid-February.

    Default Chamber va Pulse tuned?

    Hey Cheney,

    Yeah, yeah; I agree the expansion chamber will make more ultimate power, but at the expense of complexity and weight (especially if triple sliders). Simple and light is good. Would love to see a photo of your record engine up close.........

    Meanwhile, many thanks to Burt Hoefs for the Nydahl loaner! Note the cleaned up duct (boss moved external). A few more hours work to go. Should be ready to take orders early March.

    does this plate work good? Its a little different from the others I have seen on here. Can it be bolted to a stock block? I bought this a while back but, I haven't had time to mess with it yet it yet.
