it doesnt matter 2sav it looks like things are falling in place for you buddy...good to see the head wind you are making, and working on your father in laws boat is just practice for yours...you know it all started when you got your original name back! just get her done and enjoy the summer in your boat, but if yours isnt running i would suggest getting this thing out to the mead meet...did your FIL take the advice of getting everything needed such as the diverter cable and reverse cable and the odds and ends you need to button his ship up?

i was gonna say a miracle is happening, 2sav is taking a boat to the river, but i don't think i should jump ahead to much here....

Good Luck

Ok got the Eliminator wet today , but not without some issues.

#1. Lots o water coming out the weep holes at idle (installed a new ball /spring prior )
#2. it takes a while to get the water to come out the dump unless you rev it to 2K then its fine for awhile and then stops

#3.so far no oil in water.

This has a pressure reliefe valve so i open the gate valve full , and i get the rpm's up to see if its working or not and its just a drizzle. i think it starts to dump at 25 psi which i thought was a little high? Or maybe i am

Boat ran strong , really responsive and smooth.. Just need to get the plumbing issues worked out...

Any idea's

Water was cold.......

I mean the temp in the engine, lmao, what is this, full moon pick on ray day? C'mon, lol I got the Moo boat fired this afternoon, give me a lil break, lol

That WAS funny Terry, almost as funny as I blindly called around for a carb reverse kit, rofl. My friends here get a Hoot from that!.

What header valve are you running? Sometimes the water pressure "pulses" and can pass the ball and get water to the headers at idle, is it possible the seat of the valve is damaged? does it have the right spring? did you blow through it before you installed it? why is the sky blue?

The water dump would be of larger concern to me, it sounds like you have a restriction somewhere causing the pressure to be relieved into the headers, just an out loud thought.......(there should always be water blowing overboard)

Now that makes sense , a restriction

I think im going to install a header control valve in the Eliminator aswell just to eliminate this problem. But now that you mention it , i will look for a restriction... makes too much sense , back pressure ehh

If your spring is upside down the ball will fit inside it...........no BS. You'll need a spring reversal tool.
