Heading out Sunday morning to do a little pre-run before memorial day. Is anyone else thinking about going out their?

Brad beat me to it again

i started the boat yesterday and ran it for about 30 mins and adjusted to carb and timing. the damn thing fouled a plug(i hope) because it sound like it was running on 7 cylinders. i bought plugs last night on my way home and they will be in tonight. im going to Elisnore sunday morning and will be leaving my house around 6-630 so i can get some good smooth water for the boats first time out. there are still somethings that need to be addressed before i go but i have tonight and all day on saturday to adjust and clean. im waiting on a new steering adapter from JBP that should be at my front door tonight, cant wait. see you all out there on sunday. My boat will be the one that is getting towed in. 

Is everyone expecting to beach in the cove or are you going to stay over beside the city ramp?  Don't forget your shoes cuz that ground is going to be smokin'!!

Bob,

Is that south of the launch ramp we were at last time?  I haven't been back in there yet.

Overall a good day for me. I didn't have to get towed, I didn't have use the fire extingusher, and there were no fires on board. I made it under my own power all the way back to the dock.

My only problem is my new electric fuel tank selector switch apparently can't flow enough fuel to feed my engine above 3500 RPM. Maybe there is debris in there or something, and if my intake wasn't leaking I would have run it again after I bypassed the switch.

With the switch inline with the Holley marine pump -

1000 RPM 6 PSI
1500 RPM 5 PSI
2000 RPM 3.5 PSI
2500 RPM 1 PSI

bypassed, 6 PSI idle - 2K. My intake had a leak, so I didn't want to fry a valve. It's all fixed now, so hopefully my trip to the river will be good.

I'm just going to bypass it and suck off of both tanks for the meanwhile, and figure out the issues after memorial day.

It was nice ,102, light breeze, a few isolated sections of chopiness, but generally smooth. 

put 2 inch line from one tank to front carb and 2inch line to back carb and go for the melted bank card run fast use more gas feed that mo par $$$$$$ it will run you in to debt  gas is only $3.50
gal here 10gal per hour = $35.00 per hour  just chump change to you O C boys

Leaving the house in a few minutes   

Should be there about 8:00

Back already 

Gotta say thanks to Flytime and Wannabe for helping me at the lake today.  Wannebe helped me unload/load the boat and Flytime towed me in when the fuel pump quit 

I'm just glad that the pump failed here local while testing and not on the river when I want to relax.

Again, thanks guys.

Did I pass you today as you were getting towed in?

Maybe...was it being towed by this?

Some pics from today. Weather was great. Water was good for a while. Dave's(beaverretriever) new ride seem to run good and looked really good underway. He's gotta be happy

                AARRGGHHHH !!!      Busted my ass yesterday prepping the boat and my wife gets a mirgraine and my other kid doesn't want to go.


Nice pics tho
