Burt Rutan proves global warming is smoke and mirrors...
probably, but it would be extremely inefficient. You'd have to rig up some kind of steering from the ATV seat, or else a throttle linkage from...
First thing you need to do is figure out where the leak is coming from. Clean the transmission thoroughly and then take a drive, see if you can...
To general a question. What you need to do is find the BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption) for each engine. It measures pounds of fuel per...
...:D
There's a valve on the heat riser that is probably shot. Not sure what it's called, but normally as the exhaust gas heats up, a thermostatically...
If it's truly a resonance, changing the length of the boat will help. Trim tabs, perhaps?
Try electrolytic cleaning. It's a lot safer than fooling around with that acid, it's cheap, and best of all you don't have to scrub....
If only the two cylinders with open valves were rusty, chances are the water got in when the motor was just sitting.
Look for a burnt or shorted wire. Are you carbed or fuel injected? Also, correlation does not prove causation - don't rule out something else,...
What kind of fuel pump do you have? Mecahnical or electic? That would be the first thing to check.
Anything's possible with enough motivation. :D Is your tank permanently attached to the boat? Doesn't sound like it, but just thought I'd...
Check the coil and plug wires. feel the coil wire, and if the wire feels "crunchy" underneath the insulation, it's time for a new set of plug...
Wait, I thought you said you could only turn 3000-3500? Anyway, the only way you're going to get that engine to 350-400 hp is with a...
What's your budget, and what are your performance goals? And are you rebuilding yourself for fun or to save money?
Depends on how much power your engine produces at 3000 vs 5000 rpm. I'd say you're over-propped.
Where would that put your redline?
I voted yes, because I get as much pleasure out of fixing things as running them. If you don't like fixing things, then it won't be worth it.
Nah, an American aircraft carrier costs about 4 billion to build.
