Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Dialing in carbs
« on: December 10, 2017, 04:29:38 PM »
Hi everyone I'm a newbe I joined the group 5or 6 yrs ago but have been without a boat for awhile , I just purchased a1980 Crusader with a big block Chevy it has a high rise tunnel ram with 2 holly 750 double pumper . My question is the carbs were just rebuilt and the motor runs good but has a slight miss here and there I think the carbs need to be dialed at this point . Does the boat need to be in the water under a load to do this? And does anyone know someone that can fine these for me in or out of the water , I live in the inland empire area (Banning) thanks for any help and advise , Gary

Well I have another slight problem now . When I rev my motor up I have oil coming out my dip stick. I don't even have to be going anywhere. I only have a breather on one valve cover. If I put another breather on the other valve cover would that help or is it a different problem. I've got a 14 qt pan with trap doors and windage tray and high vol pump installed.It's the right one for this motor but something must not be right.

yeah ,that video was bad ass, thanks for the pics 76nordic .  GT ,I just want to do a quick tune and check things out. Its a new motor for me (used), adjust carbs and timing, check for leaks. Ive had all flats way back when .This is my first jet boat. I havent even messed with the pump yet (stock Berkley). I don't know anything about the shaft packing and wear ring yet. I bought the boat with a blown 455  in it , blown meaning motor parts in boxes needing rebuild . I bought a BBC w/about 500 HP that was out of a circle boat( flat bottom). The guy I got the motor from said it would run 5500 rpm all day. That was in a flat though. I'm trying to just get it in the water and see how it runs before winter hits then this winter do the pump ,paint and interior. I think I'm going to set my water line coming off the pump like 76NORDIC has his , looks nice and simple ....  I'll have many more questions  after I test the boat . All the info you guys have given me from the beginning of this build has saved me sooooo many headaches  thanks to all you guys for helping every time I get stumped .This next summer I plan on partying with you guys on the lake, any lake, I 'll buy the beer my first lake trip. Wait a minute....How much beer would that be ? Would I have to fill the back of my truck and the boat full of beer AND still have to go back for more ?????? I still think thats better than all the headaches I could have had.

 Thanks crewchief22    I only have about 1/4 inch play in driveshaft at end of spline at pump  ,there's no way to keep drive shaft out of the way  in less I take the PTO off also, if I can even get to the PTO bolts with the driveline so close . Is there any way to get water in pump besides spray it in intake with the hose ?  can you put water in the inspection hole at top of pump or no.  these sound like stupid questions to me but I don't know how you guys do this when your tuning w/ boat on the trailer at home

ok here's the update on my situation , obnoxious001 I believe was the first to see the problem  and thanks to 76 bonneville ,the engine doctor and G T Jets  for confirming it, thanks Tom and everyone else for their input,cause you never know, it could have been several diff things. I took my make shift primer tool and turned the pump and took my flashlight and looked down there at the same time and saw the pump was pumping great .it was coming up the shaft and going into the lifter valley. then it made sense, how can it pressure up if its just running into the valley. now i will make the correct priming tool or buy one. You guys saved me from taking my motor back out ,draining 14 qts of oil pulling the pan , well you know ,you saved me alot wasted time and headaches.    thanks again guys ,and i say again the people on this site know there shit   thanks for sharing it with me and pulling me thru this........motorhome 6   soon as i can figure out the picture posting blues,i'll do some of mine

 I should have said it is a BBC motor. The priming tool I made from a dist shaft ,I got from a dist ans welded an extension to it . I don't really know what a store bought one looks like but assumed it would look like mine. I will go and prime some more and rotate the motor to open any passages that might be blocked. thanks for everyones info I will let u know what happens and if you have any more ideas ,I'm open to them. . If my priming tool isn't made right to do the job please let me know ,also
                                                     
                                                              thanks everyone

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / no top end oil
« on: October 06, 2009, 02:22:05 AM »
Well I was so close to firing my motor up today ,its been sitting on a stand for 8 months ,the motor runs perfect but while it was out i put a high vol millings pump on it ,and 14 qt pan and pickup that was for that pan. today i went to pump some oil thru it before i started it (thru the dist hole) with the priming tool for my drill and i kept waiting to see the oil come up to the rockers  after 3-4 minutes I came to the conclusion it wasn't coming. I was spinning the pump clockwise and when i installed the pump and pickup i tack welded the pickup in the pump and i thought i was leaving 3/8 clearance from bottom of pickup to bottom of pan.....now  i'm thinking maybe the pickup is closer then 3/8 and I might have messed up my measurements and i might be to close to the pan with the pickup.  What else could it be.its a new pump but i guess it could be bad. I need some suggestions what else to do or test .before i pull the motor and drop the pan . i have 5-30 synthetic oil in it. im spinning it pretty good with my 1/2 drill motor and i can see some oil splashing by the top of the oil pump shaft. I don't get it. i was so close.         thanks for any of your ideas  or thoughts
