No, they ran on 24-1, were very smokey, loud, irregular, and were often inthe shop for repair.

Not sure I would call a 24/7 a wave crusher. I call mine the "spine crusher" and the wife calls it the "must wear sports bra"

the motor has the HP lightweight cowl with louvers
and a cle gearcase
so if original powerhead would be the Bridgeport 2.4 carb or the efi
was listed as 220hp so probably the carb
were good strong motors back then

Sorry to hear about that...... happened on the last thread I read like this one as well !!
