I like tinkering with motors, engines, either electric or gas. When I lived in Virginia, my neighbor had an older Sears self-propelled mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine that just suddenly quit working. I was the neighborhood “go to” guy to fix or make something for my neighbors. He asked me if I would look at it and I did. After checking out the fuel lines and the condition of the gas, everything with the fuel system was fine.
What engine is on the boat?
As a spectator, yes. They don't like it when you try to join in. (first-hand knowledge
)
I would imagine the engine is similiar to a top fuel dragster and as such, it would be a 500-cubic-inch nitromethane burning Hemi engine. Along that line, 10,000 to 12,000 hp is what most top fuel teams admit to.
I've had pretty good luck with an impact screwdriver. They're between $15 to $20 on Amazon.
I don't really know, but I would guess it's very similar to the ones used in top fuel dragsters (A supercharged 426 Hemi).
Here's a good read about how the engines have been refined and are able to make such unbelievable hp. I would imagine the boats are basically the same.
Wow, controlled chaos is right. With over 30 fuel nozzles and over 90 gpm delivery, that just blows my mind. It would be like riding an explosion. Kudos to the guys who can manage that.Here's a good read about how the engines have been refined and are able to make such unbelievable hp. I would imagine the boats are basically the same.
How 11,000-HP Top Fuel Hemi Engines Continue To Redefine Extreme
Nice. The red one almost looks more like a Triumph.
Or you can just soak it in a bowl of solvent for a while. And you can use a disposable bowl, if you want.Once you get your hardware off cook it in an old crockpot. This will get all the paint off.
Obviously, you wont be using this crockpot for food again.
CB 350?
Nope, 1986 250 Honda Rebel.
That guy is an artist!!
