YAY...We got the motor fully running today. Cept theres a problem with the carb...The gas is just pouring into it like theres no restriction at all.  Just overflows. So we have to figure this carb out. BUt the good news is that we got it started and have changed the oil twice as of right now.. gonna have to get more oil and oil filters tomorrow as wel as a new fuel filter. Im sure my brother will be on later to explain more.

if its a holley, take the side's off and check the floats and needles and seats. There may be some dirt or other crap in the needle and seat or the floats could be filled with water. My carb was just pissing fuel down the barrels and i got a 30 dollar rebuild kit and all i used from the kit was the needle and seats, and some basic gaskets. Its pretty easy, takes like 20 mins and can save you from having to rebuild the carb.

Nope Follow Andy's advice. I can guarantee it's a dirt issue in the carb.

When you get her ready, gimme a call! A return trip to Saguaro around Labor Day sounds in order to me!!!! Don't let the lake beat you! Off That weekend too!

Any lake is fine, actually looking forward to hitting Sag again though since I haven't been back there since the burning incident! (Only because other events have dragged me to Pleasant, bartlett and Canyon lakes this summer)

Good work BTW!

Sorry I've kept everyone outta the loop on the site, just been busy as hell working my ass off to get this goddamn thing back on the lake! I have changed a few things and done some things better this time around. My brother or I will be posting pics real soon nothing special but she's definitley back and working great SO FAR!  :mad: still cannot believe that this thing is still able to run after being 83ft deep for 2 weeks just crazy to me  :screwy: Did have big plans for a new crazy motor set up but that fell through it would have been super unique a 500ci caddy twin turbo it was sick as hell!!!!! But for now the 460 is still a fighter to stay alive and sure she'll get me through anything at this point! I have next weekend planned so far but we'll see. I really wanted to go out during the week when it calm, but can't get off work so I guess her next resurected maiden voyage will have to be with all the craziness of SAG on the weekend, including roll bar boats and lake lice.  :banghead: I will post it up when I'm toatally lake ready with pics! Thanks again for all the support guys!
