THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ISSUES TO WORK OUT. THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE BILGE FITTING, BUT THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW. THERE WASN't ANY SILICONE ON THE THREADS, AND NOW THERE IS. THERE IS A SMALL NOISE COMING FROM THE PUMP BEARING, BUT WE SHOT SOME GREASE INTO THE ZERK FITTING, SO THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL; IT HAD SAT FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT BEING LUBRICATED, BUT THERE WAS NO SLOP IN THE DRIVESHAFT. THE EXHAUST EXITS OFF THE TURBOs NEED TO BE JET-HOT COATED, AND I CAN GET THAT DONE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.
OTHER THAN THAT, THE THING RUNS GREAT. IT HITS HARD OUT OF THE HOLE, AND PULLS VERY STRONG. ONCE YOU ARE ON PLANE AT ABOUT 35-40mph, THEN STAND ON IT... FUGGIN' LOOK OUT. ANDY (MOTOR GUY) NEEDED TO ADJUST THE CARB, TIMING ETC., THEN ONCE WE NOTICED THAT SMALL LEAK WE PUT IT BACK ON THE TRAILER. I PLAN ON TAKING IT OUT SATURDAY TO PYRAMID...
