Some of you guys have helped me on other posts.I am the guy that broke the crank in his 3.5 ops.I took the head and carb of this broken engine and replaced the buggy carb. and turbo head on a NIB 3.5 ops.
I also removed the HSN on the barrel type carb now on the new motor, plugged of the fuel inlet and used the part where the needle use to be for my fuel inlet .I had seen this done on other boats.
I then installed a cmb remote needle between the tank and the carb.
The engine was very rich and would start hard and not like to take the fuel from idle.So i figured since i heard that the engine with no lsn like this one ,, needs to be very rich on the bench.I figured i was somewhere close.
I launched my cal craft mono and it had a nice blue haze so i think i am rich enough.
It was running fine but it keeps pulling the whole element out of the plug or pulling the blug far enough to break it.
It went well and seemed fine but my pipe did slide ahead a couple times.
I have the .29-40 ops pipe at 8.5" The fuel is 35% and i tried o.s # 8 mccoy #8,9 and 59 odonell purple dot.pulled them all.
The # 8 os worked the best ?
I do not know one thing about head clearance or volume or how to measure it. The button does have 3 paper thin shims or washers.
What do you think would be my problem.
