Mine will be a brand new leecraft 460 to replace my current one.What hull are you running Ron??
Brandon,The one I'm running is great, by far the fastest tunnel boat we have right now. The only thing thats been done is aftermarket parts were put in, but the crank was still an exact duplicate of the Novarossi crank, just reversed.
The only issue we've really had is carb probs, but we eventually just put a CMB .21 carb on it, and it's still very strong.
After finding prop (Thanks Sholund) there was nothing that could touch it, for about 5 laps when we lost prop. Now we just have to find set- up on the boat and get another prop back and she' ll be good to go.

We 're running a Proglass hull built by Martin Tidwell right now. We also ran the engine on a Hornet and that engine was a missile on both hulls.What hull are you running Brandon?
Yeah that's what we're using now is an old small K&B 7.5 flywheel that's been machined down to fit. You can probably mod the bigger one to, if you needed it.Ron,
Could you stick a k&b flywheel on the lathe and machine to suit? I think this is what Brandon has done but I have not seen it. The lights ones may be a little small from what I've heard. A socket nut to secure if using the nova crank which I would also like to try.
Looking forward to it Mark.Dion,
Hopefully Mitch will be testing another propeller for his 46 next week.
We have found a few that work quite well and a few more will be tested
soon.
Thanks,
Mark Sholund
Ron your the biggest frickin belly acker I have ever heard. You are still the only one out there to openly complaining and bitching about my .46 OB cranks. You carved and ground on that crank of Bob's and may have contributed to what ever happened to that crankcase. If you do not have anything to say good about something SHUT UP. Let me give you a hint on balancing a 1 cylinder engine, It can not be done.You can improve it some what but it will never run in a ballenced state at all rpm's. The force is always changing when the rpm changes.Brandon,
Im not sure im going to run the lights crank after what happened to Bob. I know Stan worked on yours like i did mine. My hope is we removed enough during the mod process to better balance the crank.
Why don't you talk to NR Mark, and quit blaming someone else. My post was in reference to their findings, period. It was nothing personal and no ones name was mentioned. BTW, where in the heck do your get your information???? Bob Kensil takes care of his own stuff. I never touched his engine or crank????????Ron your the biggest frickin belly acker I have ever heard.
