    Just got back from a test and tune. When I go to fire it when warm, I have a slow crank condition sometimes. Will closing the plugs up a bit help? I just re-jetted and this is a new problem. Otherwise, it seems fine.

    I am glad your boats back in the water, where it belongs.
    Hey...I am planning a Lost Isle trip for next year. I was out there in 98 Labor day and I miss the shit out of that party ya'll have there. I know its far out next year, but a trip to Stockon requires planning down here in San Diego

    The battery is new this season. I thought I read in here somewhere that closing the plugs a bit will help it start a little easier. I'm running them at .035 right now.
    I've yet to venture out to Lost Isle. I have a couple of youngins, and they are usually out with me. I've heard the party has mellowed a bit out there. The county was threatening to shut them down after a brawl a couple of summers ago.
    You should plan on coming for Tower Park next year. This year is going to be a blast, so next year will probably be better still!
    If you do come up, give me a yell. maybe we can hook up for some cruising! Tell Ty that the carbs seem to fine. He helped me settle some issues a couple of weeks back.

    What are you running for ignition? you want to keep the gap close to stock cuz the blower will try to blow the spark out, unless you have a nasty ignition I would keep it close to stock, I run 35 to 45 in my blown stuff.
