Re:I Wanna a new hull..... I have a fairly new 7.5/11cc B&M Leecraft epoxy hull that has a 707 products mount and radio installed. It is the twin to my 7.5 stock Leecraft. I used to run a 11 cc K&B but since the class only ran twice in the last 2 years I sold the motor. Its ready to go, just...

The black low speed needle with the slotted head should be flush or even slightly protruding from the brass hex barrel on the side of the carb. Better rich than lean.....

After the days running with my outboards, I start the engine with whatever fuel is left in the tank. I then idle it down and pull the fuel line off the carb and throttle the engine so it doesn't rev too high. I then start squirting wd-40 in the oil lubrication holes at the top of the bearing...

Is the engine completly stock? I used to run a 707 products slide exhaust throttle and the needle for the venturi. You remove the carb and insert the needle where the 2 screws were to hold the carb in. With this set-up you need to run crankcase pressure which is tapped through the side of the...

Old reliable sullivan deluxe.....25 years and still going strong,although I have a back-up.

Looks like the old original dumas 3.5 tunnel with the front end cut out to form the picklefork design. I did this back in the late 70's with a dumas kit.

I use a piece of glass which just happens to be the top of my workbench (1/2" thick, I build control-line stunt aircraft) and place the boat on the glass and set the engine propshaft bottom above the running surface of the hull. Set it parrallel with the running surface of the sponsons and your...

I run an octura x-646 thats cupped and pitched up. With the Mac it turns big time rpm and goes pretty well.
