Once they're broken in I'll run 100+ for 45minute stints. Right now I'm taking it easy.
I told my engine builder I leave the sticks at 5350RPM for extended periods and he said, "you do what?"
Isn't that why the sticks go there and stay without holding them? Cruise control right. I have a bungy chord that holds the wheel when I get another cold beverage.

You must be speaking of that piece of pipe screwed into the drain??? I guess the V drive could go under the back seat?? But yeah, that could work.. LOL!!

Now there's an idea. Stern drive off the back of the engine and V drive off the front. Does that help get on plane? Why didn't I think of that?

Kinda waiting on the gas to switch to summer blend. Have to retune, so I perfer to use what will be available for the summer. I do have few things to finish up before I can run it again. Steam holes in the manifold is one item. Add the J&S box to the Megasquirt.. to name a few. So it will be alittle bit yet.
And I have work that needs to be finished before I play!!
