Keep working, there is more there!
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
You finally found a way to race without a helmet! Somehow, someone will make a rule to strap it on your butt..............

Very nice..... install air traps and front deck cowl. The deck cowl in front of the dash board will make the boat look better.... and look finished.
With the air traps you should get over 60 mph for sure.... without any prop change. Then prop work will and raising the motor will get even more. Keep the prop shaft at least 1" below the bottom of the boat for safety. The older designs were not designed for jacking up the motor to the max. Also, the prop shaft should be level with the bottom of the boat to start with. Maybe kicked out just a little.
Really cool..... keep up the good work.
Good Luck.

Hi,
Is there any alternatives for NGK R8102-10, R8108-10 or R7424A-9?
They are hard to find...
go to Rick Montoya site and look under technical, I think there is a link on this site but for sure on hydroracer.net. The 18mm are hard to find so if you have that head you can change it to the 14mm head or use 18mm to 14mm adapters and then use 14mm plugs. There are many of those available. Ric suggests to go 1 heat range colder with the adapters compared to what was in the engine with 18mm plugs.
I have 14mm head and R7424A-9 spark plugs, they came with engine.
Manual says R8102-10 or R8108-10.
It is very hard start on cold. Spark plugs get wet all the time.. I have to let it idle ~15s. then pull the choke again 2-3s. and idle ~15s. etc. If I touch throttle plugs get wet.
Any ideas?
That's not being caused by the spark plugs. Check something else
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
Now it works like a champ (after three days pulling and cursing, no idea what was wrong)
Today, first time, I drive trough wave and get really wet
How long airtraps should be? Do I made them full length or less?
I have Dewalds prop, is there way find out proc specs?
