Thread: The Racer52 Rides Again

    Well the long awaited water test last night was succesfull..
    Dropped the boat in the water about 6:15 and drove around doing the break in thing which for me and my motors usually lasts about 1/2 hour..
    After that checked over the engine and found couple small issue's
    i.e( leaky water pump and small oil leak?? )
    Did some tuning on the engine with my new a/f computer from Innovate motorsports.. ( i would reccomend to anyone doing self tunning ) got the idle all dialed in and some mid range. No more fat black smoke anywhere
    so ran it up a bit and all was good. Checked it all over again and said watch the guages and listen up.. Had 4 peeps on board to help out..
    First run was way more then expected, the boat ran up to the rev limit so fast I couldnt peddle it down under the rev limit ( 6000 for break in )
    So we idled down and cheked it all over...
    Next run was same thing but I backed off and tried to keep it at 5600 but ir still wanted to climb up.. You could actually see the soft touch coming on by watching the a/f meter, ( way too cool )
    Overall the boat ran good and felt alot stronger than last season with the new fuel injectors( higher lbs hr)
    6000 rev chip , 1.25 gears, 26p prop, 107mph===.09% slip
    not bad for 5 people & 50 gal fuel..

    will be changing to a 28p or 29p depending on how it does in the higher rpms's..
    and wanted to say thanks to Hulshot for helping build the motor again
    and for the fuel injectors...

    Sounds good! Did you do any internal motor changes, or just fuel delivery and injectors?
    I still have not had my boat out, have a number of other things taking priority.

    That's great news Racer. Glad to hear that you have it back in the water and it's running great even during break in. Look forward to getting together with you at Berryessa on the 14th weekend. Wish I could join you guys at Havasu next week. I know that you will have a great time.
