I know, I was kidding. If I knew it bugged people I'd do it more.  >:D Yeah, I'm 45. (21 with 24 years of experience perfecting the technique of being an idiot and an ass, according to my late wife, lol). I'll see if I can dig them up. They're still in boxes I think in the Bat-Cave in the basement. Can't remember how they really go to post how I read them, lol, but just pretend to be somewhat dislexic.

It's real fun with young kids, lol.

The placement of the rack to helm will depend on several things: which direction the cable is routed from helm(left or right) and which side of the pump the cable connects to( a stock JC/JG connects on left, a stock JE/JF connects on the right. With a JC/JG style, and cable exiting to left side, rack should be below. With the JE/JF, and cable exiting to the left, rack is mounted to top side of helm.

Best advice is to check and double check that the nozzle swings to right when wheel is turned right and to the left when wheel is turned left. :D


I can't verify this since the Blue one isn't here. Can tell you it makes sense, but I know for a fact both boats the steering cable exits left but can't be sure on which side the blue one steers by (JC pump). The moo does steer by the right side of the pump, (JE pump).

Next week I prolly could.

Dunno, really. And not a hard question, you guys can ask anythng. Most of you know more about me than the people I work with every day, lol. No never even been to a reniassance fair.

Wait til Jeremy posts the pic I sent him a bit ago (I know he will) on my phone! lol. (In MY defense, they wanted me to wear green because they are having some ignition trouble with my boat, and I had a solution, wear green, albeit not a sound or sane one, but still funny as hell!) You guys are gonna think I was doing the Sugar Plum Fairy dance in drag. (Wait, it'sa comin, hopefully not high rez), once he gets the little bit of vomit outta his mouth opening that text, lmao.

I guess maybe it's the Irish half of my background, or maybe that I read a LOT of old english classics when I was younger. Who knows, but makes a more colourful language, no? lol. I had a college professor from Dublin who kinda talked that way too, maybe that's part of it.

Probably more correctly was my addiction to Monty Python's Flying Circus and their movies in High School, or my Pennsylvania Dutch Grandma who had a sense of humour like no other. She used the Methinks thing A LOT! Usually when I or my cousins were in deep shit for something. (Normally, it was I).

Or the countless old books I've read to the kids (Always my job, and I relished that, My kids heard Rindercella, Stiltzkinrumple, and the Pee little Thrigs, among other things, another thread on how I read those to them, maybe I'll type them out some time, but I'd do like "I'll puff, and I'll huff, and I'lllllllllll HOE your blouse down", my poor kids are gonna require therapy at some point.......)

Could also be my version of lol, lmao, brb, pita, etc etc. (Been on the internet since before it was the internet, only bulletin boards, but still get bamboozled easily with things on it these days)

 ;D Kinda makes me proud I have my own word now tho, "Rayism", and it's definition ain't nearly close to half as bad as it certainly could be, (Or maybe SHOULD be) lmao!

Thanks Guys! I'll try and refrain from them, lol.  Good to have friends that will point that out, as I'm sure I use them in conversations everyday unconciously, and it prolly bugs some people methinks.

Didn't answer a goddam thing did I?

« on: May 23, 2009, 12:14:53 AM »
Lol yeah it is! I told Andy on the phone I was running VR1 straight 50 in the blue one, looks like he's going another route, which is fine, and to order the remote kit and if he didn't need it he could always return it. But it solved the Moo's excessive pressure problem. It went from a buried needle at idle to 70-80 PSI no matter the temp or rpm. I'm running basically the same pump he is, just the ferd version, M84.

I think the VR1 50 is what Jeremy is putting back in mine, (He found it was milkshaking a little more than I had ever seen, time for the new intake and carb, as I'm betting the water's getting in from the intake.)

Did he say sand?........................dude


Yeah he did, but in the water passages, Terry. It's in his other thread that I'm too tired and drunk to look for at the moment, lol.

Seems like he did a good job prepping the short block for the new heads and cam. And the Cam break in, engine install he had Omar there to help him. Proly to drink more beer, but still, Omar'd tell him he was focking up on something I would bet.

I would NOT screw with a dual remote on a boat.

I'm running one Terry, and it dropped my oil pressure down to reasonable numbers as well, without having to change up on what oil I'm using?  ??? ??? I get it that it's more to have leaks with, and vibration and chit is a BEAR on a boat (Especially mine), but it worked, lol. Why don't you like them? and in my case, have you ever tried to find a filter that'll clear the stringer on a Ford??
(At least in the Moo boat, the Blue one clears a standard filter easily, ask Jeremy, lol he's changing it as we speak).

I love that guy, fixing everything and finding things on my boat, guess he had an excursion today with a bad dizzy cap and rotor and never got off the dock! (RJ's been running the hell outta that thing for weeks now with no issues, lol) Good thing it was in the front I guess, lol.......anyway......

Mounting location is everything on them. Mine is on my custom, one-off, never to be duplicated (because noone in their right mind would ever do it) engine sheild. Which is STILL not upholstered, guess I need to get off my ass and get it done, lol.

FWIW though, I also had oil pressure readings almost identical to Andy's, and yeah, completely fresh engine. (Was a treat taking the filter off when I installed the remotes, lemme tell you, that thing was SWOLLEN solid to the block. 2' pipe wrench!)

Welcome!, And BTW, pics are a pre-requisite.

That being said, nothing wrong with dropping the motor in and running it, assuming it ran good before. Then do your hot rodding next winter. We're into season now, dude, drop it in and see what happens! That's kinda the way these boats started anyway, using street engines and they ran just fine.

Ray

Now you gotta throw it back together!

Might be a chevy thing for the reverse flexplate dealio but I could never get the top mount to work right on my BBF.  The bendix would hang on the brand new flexplate 3 out of 5 times.  I tried to different starters and both did the same thing and thats why I ditched it.  My starter guy said that in order for it to actually work well you have to get one of those hi-torque type so that the bendix goes back in when you let off the start button instead of relying on the motor to kick it back like the old school starters.

I dunno Ryan, Glenn knows more than me on this, but to my thinking, the only time I can see a problem using a top mount reverse starter (Even on a Chebbie) is when using it on a used beat up flexplate that has been well used with the standard starter. If it gets grooved on the teeth, then yeah, I can see hanging up occurring, but basically, the bendix goes in and engages with the flexplate when engaged, and spring tension brings it back with no torque applied, (And centrifugal force of the running engine helps expedite that) what direction it goes depends on how the starter is wired. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just another .02 (I must be up to about $50 so far on those, half of them maybe useful)

Ray

No, but the Aux solenoid is a good idea( I dun run one). BUT you have more connections and cables that could be failing you. Do this, take loose all your cables, use a wire brush on all the connections and cable ends, including the battery, then coat them with Vaseline and re connect everything. I bet your problem goes away.

Ray

I remember GT saying something about needing a reverse direction flexplate or something like that for the topmounts.  Good Luck!

I think he was talking about it in 2sav's starter for sale thread.

I think that's a Chebbie 'ting Ryan, Could be wrong, but all my starters have straight cut gears, so do the flexplates. Can't see that being an issue.

New one on me! Which pump you got? Might be interesting to see the replies on this one.

Why waterproof it? You planning on sinking the thing? How wet do you think they get underneath a car in the rain or in the north with snow and everything else packed on them then melting? Run it dawg! it'll be fine!

Ray

Edit, could be a cable. The Moo does this once in a while, and it's the ground cable having a little loose crimp. Tried re-crimping it, but still does it from time to time, not a big enough deal to change it yet.

Reverse rotation then, no you can't use a standard starter! PM 2sav, I know he has a couple he's getting rid of, as Terry pointed out. If not, Call tom at JBP.
