It can be done. Over the years RC Modeler magazine has run various articles on doing so. You could hook up with the forum links from their website and ask around. I've used several of their schematics for failsafes and glodrivers and such.
While innovation and imagination are the heart of all...
Stock settings for K&B carb
Whats a good setting for a K&B 11cc outboard carb? My engine cranks hard and when it finally kicks it revs to the moon, then dies after 3-5 seconds. The website and paperwork don't list any settings. What are you set at? That will at least get me within a half turn...
I have a friend with one. Took him forever to find the original box, but he did. It says, and I quote, "Speeds Over 60 MPH* " The "*" states "Using Mod Engine Kit". He even has the Spitfire II which only claims 65mph. It also states that the records being set were in the novice class...
I use M/C starters myself as well. If you mean the starter pulley, drill out the original hole about .008-.010 less than the OD of the armatures gear end and press the pully on. I usually dissassemble the starter and place the armature against a piece of soft aluminum plate to avoid damge to the...
You can place it upside down with no problem. By all means, get on over to Jims Boat Dock. They will help you with any and all questions pertaining to gasoline boats and engines. I'm a member there as well.

I can do a digital pic of plans but until I find someone around here that can scan and digtise the whole sheet, thats all I can do. I am on a dail-up connection so how about a volunteer to pass it around? It'll take somewhere like an hour to e-mail one copy alone.(for a decent copy anyway) I get...
Re:Faith in K&B
Average sale price for an 11cc at Tower was 249.00 add the variously available coupons and at one time I could have gotten it for 210.00 'Course that was when they advertised it but, like the rest of us, couldnt get it.
Re:Faith in K&B
You know, that would be sweet to see them actually get things rolling. Going well enough to ship to distributors as well. The dist's sell the stuff a heck of a lot cheaper than K&B themselves.(whole motors, anyways)
BTW.... If anyone could tell me how to get the full sheets copied into a format that would be worth e-mailing, I have several Dumas plans I'd be willing to share.
