Well you wont believe this !!
 The old 300 hp 2 smoker started today  !! After lots of tinkering and cleaning all the conections, it fired-up (in a HUGE cloud of smoke!!), ran a little rough then cleared out and even idled.  It sounds like a pack of dirt bikes    and filled my entire backyard with smoke  , but it runs .

 Well , I guess its a little to late to try to convince him to finish it.

 That is a sweet boat , I should have bought it, but the fleet is getting a little large around here  , my jet boat in the garage (with the mustang and the bike and jetaholics motor) the Daytona on the side of the house behind jetaholics boat (the only time he will ever be in front of my boat  ).  Its starting to look like your shop around here  !

 Verry nice boat lilrick !!

 Two questions if you dont mind, is that an electric linear actuator controling the cav plates ?  And what kind of V-Drive is that ?

ralph sunk and returned to take a 1st place in the last heat

i threw 2 rods and knocked a hole out the side of my block on my first heat.

 Way to go Ralph !!  Never say die !!!

 Sorry to hear about your bad luck Brad, but the Bradsberry looked good in the pics.

Of course this was before i got it and just after it was brought back up from the bottom of lake Havasu.

 Daammmm , the bottom of lake Havasu ? 

 Can we start picking names for it yet ?   I vote for.... sunken treasure !!! 

Yeah i need pics of your bulkhead so i can replace mine, its missing. This will give me some idea of what to do, Thanks for you'r help

2sav,
 I dont know if these will help but here you go.

COIL COIL COIL!

 Actually Its coil coil coil coil coil coil ! There are 6 of them  .  But I dont think thats the problem, I think its the stator.  I have been back tracking the ignition from the coils , no power at the coils, no power at the switch boxes.  The switch boxes (as much as I can figure) are powered by the stator and take the signal from the crank triger thingy and up the voltage to power the coils, I think ! 

 The good thing is I am learning new things (stators, switchboxs, crank trigers, multi coils) and I havent shocked myself yet. 

  I remembered last night that I know someone that works at a local OB shop  so i called him today and he told me to LEAVE IT ALONE before I make it worse ( No faith in my skills) .  He said to leave it with him and he would check it out in his spare time and let me know what the problem is. 

 Just as a side note .   
 I never thought of this before, but because a two smoke has a power stroke every time the piston comes to tdc and a 4 stroke is every other time this thing (3.4 L   V6) has as many power strokes at an equal rpm as a 4 stroke V 12

 And NOOO I'm not slipping away to the smokey side  , just trying to get it to run so I can sell it (the motor not the boat).

 Does anyone here know anything about these Fu###NG things ?




 I figured I would try to get it to run (to sell it) but its like trying to read chinese!! Nothing makes sence !!

 It turns over and has compresion but I cant get any spark .

 Cool.

 But why did you put the motor in backwards Tom ? 

I see a big Jet Boat Performance sticker, but no jet ?
