I have a Unilite, Comp 9000 series for a BBF (Supposedly, DIDN'T FIT MY BBF, GEARS TOO SMALL). I'll bring it along, maybe we can at least rob parts from it.

Ray

Keep it up there funny guy and I will come down there and take your boat out of your driveway and take it to mead this weekend! Im sure all of us together could get it finished!   

LMFAO! That's funny, I'll bring the sawzall and the cherry picker, we can get that dizzy on the right end, just rotate the engine 180 degrees. ROFL!

Lord, I gotta go to work, but FUNNY, Thanks Steve, needed that! Even tho you're taking the 'Brunt' of it.

Ray

"tis why I kept the pallet Steve, for the firepit when I get the time to cut it up.

Ray

Maybe I shoud just drag it with me to Mead, since I'm only leaving my washer and dryer here anyway. we can cut it up there and burn it.

Also changed up on the scoop deal. The other was for the dual quad tunnel that will go on it later. So I picked up this modified one for the time being. Will work ok for now, and I'll save it for use on the Yellow Submarine, which is next.



Shoulda seen me trying to put THIS nut on and tighten the Fokker at 6 am!  My neighbors learned a few new words. PO of the scoop drilled a hole through the top, I assume to make it easier, that was nowhere near the center. I should weld it up and have it re coated in the future. Prolly yellw considering where it's going eventually.



Also made this lil dealio out of aluminum strapping. Hopefully it saves me from the signiature crooked scoop of Omar's



All that's left for tomorrow's trip is another coat of resin on the engine cover, rattle can it, install it and tighten up the wiring.



And no, the Pallet is not the engine cover, 2sav.

Ray

Umm I can't say much, wood trim around my tile countertops as well, and I'm in Arizona??


Lol, Didn't say I like them, but.......they;re there and keep the pans from hitting the floor.

Ray

ooooook, gonna go try it now.....hold on..................................... .............

Popped right off! easiest thing so far on the boat! Thanks crewcheif.

Still need to rig something, or borrow something to pump the oil out of this thing on Friday at Mead after it's break in run. The old fuel pump I had is no good. Any ideas? Anybody got one set up to do this?

Ray

I pulled on it pretty hard. No move. Guessing it's lock tited in or something. Gonna leave it be for now.

Ray

Held open by a return spring right now. Maybe I can fab something a little less hilljack.

Ray

Ohhh, Ok. Now I get it. Shoulda put that together! Sounds kinda like West Virginia, where we joke a bisexual is anyone who likes both sheep AND cattle.

Boat with choke = what

Thanks Steve! Removed the choke, kinda, and now starts easier and idles like a champ at 800 rpm!  Why didn't I think of that?

Can't get the choke butterfly out without removing the curved vent tube on the marine carb. Any ideas on how it comes out? or do I break out the Sawzall again?



Also replaced the ignition switch. seems it was the source of all that was evil with the guages, thanks Skip. A few raps with a screwdriver handle ans all is well

Ray

Dead Cow, that's there is pretty funny, I think my son came up with a name for your boat Ray, hows about "USDA Choice"   

GT
