Building A looper Beast

[R Austin]

Finally stopped raining for a couple of days so I could get the boats out.
Plan is to take them to Constantine on the 12th of July and run the Beast as we now have had success on the dyno.
If allowed would do Saturday afternoon. Should be, hopefully, a better performance.

Wow! Hope everything goes good. You may or may not know how many people are paying attention and hoping for your success.

Any chance you are bringing them to DePue for the reunion?

Just do not seem to be able to shake the on water issues. Constantine has come and gone and still not able to find the real potential of the Beast.
Again out of the pits running on 4 or 5 cylinders, yet running fine on the dyno, mechanically holding up good. Just can not get to fire on all 6 on the boat in the water.

The engine did go into a full limp mode and did stay that way. Thought that maybe over fueled when backed off into that last turn. So pulled the boat and checked plugs, blew out cylinders and installed new plugs. Dry fired in the pit area and blasted off on all 6 and responded great. No load of course.

Sunday we put in the water and it would only run on a couple of cylinder and no even begin to plane limped back to pits and pulled plugs and install an other set. Again only fire on 2 or 3 cylinders. Pulled out of the water and again pulled and cleaned plugs , checked compression, and all good. Dry fired and blasted right off on all 6 and sounded great.

My take at this point is the the low speed winding's are bad. Dry fire just passes right past low winding to high speed. In the water it can not make to the high speed. Will just do the tests and find the problem. At least now it is down and should be able to find.
