Depending on how you are looking at SCJB ( app or website) you can direct message him. It should send an email notification if he has one setup. Thanks. I’ve sent him direct messages but haven’t gotten a reply. I’m assuming based on his login history he’s never received them. So I was hoping someone knew him or had other contact info.

I’m still interested in this boat if it’s available. Does anyone know how to contact the OP?

Is the boat still for sale and available for showing this weekend?

Where is it located? And is the finish gel coat or paint?

This would help prevent filling the engine compartment with gas in case a float/needle and seat decides to stick. I don’t have an engine cover, it’s an open engine.

It is unsafe and illegal to run that. Are you sure about that? This boat has ran with this setup since the early 80s with no problems and nobody has ever said anything about it being illegal. Also, FYI, the pump is brand new. 7

Ok, I’m playing catch-up reading through the recommendations and I’m starting to get a feel for how the carb works. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like your part recommendations are to get more fuel into the primaries, and the vacuum secondaries to open sooner with the softer spring. Both make sense to me, but I wonder if I’ll get less engine efficiency and more fuel burn with that setup. Just thinking out loud. I’m not understanding why disconnecting the vacuum line helps the situation. If you don’t mind explaining it or explained it somewhere else I’d appreciate learning more about it.

What did you use to spray the paint and what thinner did you use? I need to repaint mine and I’m looking for tips. Yours turned out great.

Thank you for all of the help. Next time I go out I'm going to hook up another portable tach and use that to verify the correct numbers and then start running down the troubleshooting list you gave me. The Holley carb list number is 3310-2. I'll post pictures. Based on the diagrams I found online it looks like the vacuum advance is already plugged. The distributor feels solidly attached, not sure how else to troubleshoot that thing. 10
Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Tach reading high - where to start troubleshooting?« on: March 20, 2018, 04:48:26 PM »The basics... Wiring seems good to me. The secondaries on the carb are running well. I can tell when I'm maxed out on the primaries, then if I give it full throttle, there's a second of delay, then I can hear the vacuum secondaries open and the acceleration really takes off. Haven't checked compression, but the boat is running strong and I don't notice any indications of loss of power. Timing was checked last fall. Throttle is opening fully with the throttle linkage and pedal. No concerns there. Let me know what you think after looking at the pictures. 11

Jet Pumps / Re: Reverse bucket« on: March 20, 2018, 10:00:57 AM »Greetings from Canada guys! Sorry I've been absent for so long. We lost our little girl this year, and I took some time away from everything. I am starting to rejoin the world, and now more than ever, I need to keep my mind busy. My question is this; what is the proper way to adjust my Berkeley reverse bucket so that my boat doesn't start taking off as soon as the engine is started? Or should I just put the throttle/direction lever in reverse while letting the engine warm up? One of the nice things about jets is that you can adjust the forward/reverse momentum to be whatever you want it to be with the reverse bucket. You'll find a spot on your jet lever where it is balancing the forward thrust with reverse thrust, basically giving you no movement (or a neutral setting). On my pump the neutral position is about 2 inches movement from full reverse. So full reverse is at about 11'oclock with the lever, neutral is 12, and full forward is at the 3'oclock position. The lever doesn't have to be full forward or full reverse. Hope that helps. 13

My tach is reading incorrectly, based on the high RPMs that I'm seeing that don't line up with the impeller and horsepower curve. My tach is showing 4800 RPM at full throttle but I'm running a heritage AA impeller with a 325HP BBC.
So, where do I start? Re-wiring? Replace the tach? 15

That would require 450 or so HP, If I had a 450 HP 19' boat that only went 48 mph I would be pissed..... Your tach is wrong and the tune is way off...JMO Not being a douche, just trying to help...

Got the boat back in the water today after re-installing the rebuilt pump and redoing the interior over the last couple of months.
Lake Perris: 2 adults 2 kids. WOT: 4800 rpm @ 48.5mph. Heritage AA impeller and rebuild by Tim @ Place Diverters. Boat runs strong from the hole, and I'm happy with the performance I was seeing today. Based on the numbers maybe I was premature on the rebuild, because I'm not that far off from where I was to begin with but now I know that I've got a good pump that'll last me for a good number of seasons and it's just one less thing to think about while I haul my kids around exploring. 17
Jet Pumps / Re: Berkeley Pump - need help« on: March 06, 2018, 11:56:19 AM »Just for reference, our 69 tahiti with 425 horse turns 5100 rpm at 69 MPH on GPS. I would think maybe your Tach is off. Nope, this is a red and white tahiti. I'm having the pump rebuilt by Tim at Place Diverters and I'll post up the numbers in a few weeks after I can take the boat out and see how she runs with a new pump. 18
Jet Pumps / Re: Berkeley Pump - need help« on: February 27, 2018, 06:17:22 PM »what kind and size boat, impeller looks to be cut down to at least a :A: the front leading edge on the wear ring surface is to far back from the suction, was the suction damaged there, can't really make it out, needs to be taken apart and checked out, pump slipping coming out of the hole usually means a worn out wear ring.

Jet Pumps / Berkeley Pump - need help« on: February 27, 2018, 03:50:56 PM »
Alright guys, I need some help here.
454BBC (passenger/2 bolt/ ~325HP). Berkeley JC pump. WOT - 4900 RPM & 46 MPH - Sea level with 4 adults WOT - 5100 RPM & 50.6MPH - 3700' elevation - 1 adult. Pulling a skier, the pump cavitates and doesn't produce much torque. Based on the above the assumption has been that the impeller was a C cut, which was causing the high RPMs and cavitation from a stop under load. I was getting ready to send the pump out to get rebuilt with a new impeller so I pulled it apart and this is what I found inside. A2 cut impeller, what looks to me like clean leading edges, no obvious issues. So what gives? Why are my RPMs so high and having trouble with the holeshot? Now I have no clue what to do with the pump rebuild. I'm glad I might save some money on not needing a new impeller, but at a loss for performance issues. 20

I’m redoing carpet this month also.
So far these guys seem the cheapest for decent reviews. https://www.boatcarpetbuys.com No clue on if 3m adhesive is the way to go or if the liquid adhesive is better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 21
