How does that translate on Google translator?

Fred from Livorsi sent me a response saying to try 80 psi senders, he thinks that is the problem- so thats my next move. I will keep you guys in the loop.

Is that when the regatta is? I haven't been on Chelan before but its not that far. I usually boat Coeur D'Alene and Pend O'Reille- but Chelan would be fun

Hey Scottie,

Any pictures of that flooring material you used to cover your gas tank? I am really struggling to find something to use that will last and provide some rigidity!

So I was working on it tonight- trying to get it ready to watertest, and now the right engine keeps backfiring out of the exhaust at idle. It sounds like the right bank, I think it might be my distributor cap and/or rotor, any other ideas? I don't think its fuel because the left engine runs fine. Any advice would be appreciated-

If you suspect its ignition related, swap the parts from one motor to the other (if you didn't already do/think of that). That is one nice about having two identical motors...
