Mike,

I am sure a 2170 would get the job done.

Thanks For Sharing,

it looks like that groove down the front is going to channel water right into the carb,. but I guess if you are running only SAW you should be alone.. I have wondered before about things that channel air into the the carb,.. and how that pressure would very with speed and possibly make it difficult to hold a needle setting..

 

[David Bryant]

let me know what you guys think

very cool design. Looks like an outrigger Batman would ride in
Would like to get a closer picture of the Picco .80 .

GREAT LOOKING RIGGER.

LOVE THOSE PICCO 80'S GREAT ENGINES

The air ram is a great idea. You should try a naca profile. When done right the water will pass right over.

I hope not to channel water to the carb but only fresh air i don't think it will lean it out to a point of no return ( damage parts ) if it starts to lean and fall off pipe i would richen the 3rd channel needle .

Thats all i have for now on this untill i run it under power, i will let you know how it works for me when i get it wet but that won't be till next summer.
