http://relentlessskateshop.com/KB_piston_liners_21.jpg Hello everyone, In the picture via the link above, I have two p/l 's that I purchased years ago for my 8907, but only the liner on the left matches identically with the one currently in my engine. Has anyone ever seen the other liner, and...

Cha ching! Check out the video on this link! http://www.fairchildracing.com/ My blessings to all of you for a fast connection!

Hey all, I was wondering, since I have been running the HECK out of my Villain since I got it going good, I'm wondering when I should consider a rebuild. When we are rebuilding engines, what are the most important parts to replace? Bearings? The connecting rod? The piston and liner? How do I...

Older style K&B 7.5 p/l available I talked to Gary Preusse today and he told me that he has some K&B pistons and liners available for 7.5 outboards. He said they were the "older style" but I don't know what he meant by that. Just thought I would let you guys know. If you call him, please tell...

Hey everyone, I have 3 .21 K&B engines, and on two of them I have changed the head clearance. In the oldest one, which was manufactured around 1980, I removed the shims and ran it a few times (in very cold weather on 15% nitro). It was pretty weak, to say the least. It sputtered pretty bad on...

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I just attended my first IMPBA district one meeting today in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area, and I was wondering if there is anyone else near us that has a Tunnel Hull. There is a race in the southern part of central New York (town of Elmira) and if you plan on...

Tom, feel free to re-direct this article into the "featured articles" section of the site. Thanks for everyone's help in getting my Villains finished! Jeff T.

Andy Brown's new MAC outboard has hit the market, and it isn't cheap. http://www.cmdracing.com/updated/new_releases.htm

Hey guys, I just got back from a run, and I wanted to mention some observations about running my K&B in cold weather. If you wanna add to this, feel free! I have an older K&B w/ the 12mm crank. I ran Byron car fuel (20%) with castor added in, which probably brought the nitro down to 15%. The...

Hey OB dudes! My Villain is doing something pretty weird. When I was going into right turns, starting to really push it hard, the inside sponson would not "let go" of the water, and it would pull the boat right underwater! I was thinking about attaching a snorkel to my carb, but I thought it...

Hey, does anybody know what the dimensions are for an oval course that would be raced at an IMPBA event?

Hello everyone, How's the weather treating all of you? I was wondering if anybody has knowledge they might want to share about edge strakes on Tunnel Hulls. What do they achieve, and does anybody know of any places where we could find more information on them? If you know some things, please...

Tom Moorehouse, I've been trying to email you. Can you please email me. I want to ask you some questions... [email protected] Thanks, Jeff Torgalski

Hey, I'm just repeating what I just read at Tower's site....you be the judge. Besides, why should I care, I got all these 20 yr old K&B's lying around. :D Jeff

Check out my new K&B! Hey guys, I just won an auction on ebay, and I thought you might like to take a look at my new K&B I got.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3112325497&rd=1 I must say, sure is good lookin'! :o Jeffrey

K&B red carb:Tell us about it I recently purchased a K&B 3.5 and got two carbs with it. One is an ubiquitous black carb, then another is red. The red has a larger inner diameter at the carb's exit. Can I use this on my engine, or is it for a 7.5? Does anyone know of any setup tips for initial...

Jerry Dunlap showed me a picture of his setup for his villain. I printed it, and I also printed a copy of Mike Z's setup, and brought it to my local hobby shop. They told me that Jerry's hardware is probably obsolete, and Mike Z's setup is bad because it's metal to metal and this can cause...

This message is directed towards anyone who has built a Dunlap 27, or Jerry Dunlap himself... I'm building a Dunlap 27, and I'm confused about the building fixture. The frame 1 brace: what are it's dimensions supposed to be? The bill of material says 1/2" or 3/4" ply, then the drawing says...
