Had a minor scare this a.m. when I was prepping Friction Addiction for this weekend. Boat fired and ran for about 20 seconds then died & wouldn't restart. After checking everything, pulled off scoop and mass quantities of gas were dumping from float vents and through venturis. Couple of love taps with the BFH (big f'ing hammer) and she was running in no time. Needle & seat in secondary was stuck. Hooked up water and ran her for about 10 mins (driveline was already disconnected, I knew you were thinking it lol). The headers I got from 76 Bonneville sound good and look better than my old ones. I had to bend up the water lines to make em fit lol. Just got to retorque header bolts when she cools down and then wash her on saturday morning before we head out. Got to remember to hook up water line from pump and driveline too lol.
We'll be 2nd sandbar from Martinez Saturday. C ya there!!! ;D

Another good way to clear your needle and seat for you guys with rubber fuel hoses is to clamp off your fuel line, start it up and let it run till it starts to run out of gas and unclamp it. The rush of fuel should blow out any debre.
