Tom,
You can count on seeing me soon, there are parts I need and I always have a few questions

The fuel pump is a Holley blue electric. pressure is set at 8psi which by reading info on the Holley web site is too high they it should be at 6psi. I just order the rebuild kits today. I'm gonna try blocking off the second port, lowering the fuel pressure down to six (I think the pressure was holding the needle valves wide open)... I'm very stumped about the bogging at WOT, its only the last 10-15% of throttle it bogs like its flooding, i know its running real rich the plugs are black and the pipes have a lot of black soot. Don't have a clue as to it idling good and it runs like a bat outta hell till it hits WOT then it bogs out and I have to back out of it.... Gps at 66mph rite before the bog  

We were able to GPS the boat yesterday and it hit 66mph before it started bogging. Not to bad considering the carbs keep flooding ( reason for the bogging) at WOT (rebuilding this week) and no place diverter... its coming this winter or whenever I find a good deal. State worker on furloughs gotta save every penny

i hate wiring myself .... hope you can get out there one of these weekends ... our boat will be down for a couple of weeks, carb issues, gonna rebuild both of them (floats are bad= dumping fuel at the top end and running supper rich) and gotta pull one of the tanks and replace the pickup tube.

it was a good turn out today about 13 boats most of the day

We're gonna try and make it sunday if I can get the oil pressure and fuel gauges to work. I'll be working on the boat Saturday so we'll see......

that ramp is crazy slick, both the wife and I slid about 5 feet before we were able to grab the boat and stop our self from eating sh*t ...... it would be good to see ya out there. This is the closest water to us so it will be a regular place for us.....

welcome and post some pics.....

I think we're gonna hit kaweah also.. We'll be out in the morning. Hope the water levels is good..

And just picked this boat up off craigslist. first boat with a berk pump. Was into boat in my teens and 20's then family came along and you know the rest. Last boat was a Ranger w/460 and a panther pump....

Well I've been on this site for a little while and decided to post an intro finally. Name is Stephen married with a son whos 9. Boat is a 1976 Tahiti bbc 454 tunnel ram w/ twin 660 holleys, 12jca (waiting for a place diverter ) and so on.... Here in the boring part of the central valley--- Coalinga . Looking for family type people to hit the water with.....
