Yeah, lol ,Scared the living SHEIT out of the kids when I first figured this out. Took awhile from all this to convicve them to get back in the boat with me, again, Crewcheif can attest. They're fine, but want Oh Sheit handles everywhere on the boat now. Maybe I need some baffles.................

im not exactly sure how a electric choke works. Do you have to punch it to basicially turn the choke off when you dont want it on anymore if you have an electric one?

« **Reply #127 on:** March 19, 2009, 11:44:13 PM »

I simply removed it, no need. boat does NOT need a choke, and as I think about it, unsure why it ever would.

I removed the electric assembly, the linkages, the butterfly and the shaft. Pretty much the whole dam thing. 'll post pics later when I get back and start dissassembling the other one this afternoon, maybe, unless we're having too much fun with it out there this morning.

OK, OK, Theres more in the Family Event at Lake Mead thread, thanks to Chromey and Crewcheif, but here she is in the garage. Shoulda took some outside. I'll try and do that tomorrow for you guys. Also plan to post the pics once the wiring is cleaned up and the tunnel is installed. Tried the Bimini today, dun like it. Gonna save it for the Yellow Submarine I think. Just doesn't go with this boat, and I don't imagine it will stay on this thing very long at speed anyway. The intake combo on it now will go on the other one, with an 850, once I get that far.

Haven't even cleaned it up since Mead!

Well, the tunnel's going on Tuesday, if I planned my week right. Also lined up a guy to permanently name the boat. Any last minute suggestions? So far I'm tossed between, "That Damn Cow Boat", "Udder Nonsense" (Udder Mayhem is growing on me), and just plain "Mooooo". There's also "A Mooooving Experience", "Moo-Haul", I'm worrying myself more over this stuff than anything else on the boat.

Anyone find themselves in or near the PHX area and need this sort of thing done, I can hook you up. The guy works for me sooo, I know where to find him. Does FANTASTIC work, all freehand. He makes all of our signs for the store now (Not that he likes it, but....)

How did you nearly sink the boat?

Joe

Wellll, I kinda forgot to tighten 1 hose clamp, apparently, the hose that goes from the front of the intake to the ball valve before the header T. When I romped on it pretty hard chasing Crewcheif and Nordi's friend Jay, it came off, and the faster I went, the more water I was pumping into the back of the boat, thank goodness the kids noticed a lot of water rolling around their feet, problem was, I was in the middle of the lake and went ashore PRONTO. Took the bilge pump awhile to pump it out, lol. At least an easy fix, but she was REALLY full of water, pretty darn close if you ask me,

Blued the headers a bit, as they were running dry, obviously, and scared the crap out of everyone involved, lol. Learned a valuable lesson there. Double and triple check everything BEFORE you get in the middle of the lake and run it like an idiot! Boat ran great the rest of the time, save for a little leaky water outlet cover that we fixed while there.

All in the interests of learning! It's funny now, but wasn't at the time.

Steve, the Blue thingy is the part that went in on top of the golf club and the gold thingy.

I think the gold thingy is supposed to keep the parts into the blue thingy, I'm not sure, but it did kill 1 chebby pretty handily. Might been a fluke, but you weren't watching anyway.

You guys are killing me here.

Not enough room on the boat for these, unless I use the deck.............................

Ray

« **Reply #148 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:43:51 PM »

OK, Problem. Started disassembling the top end to install the intake, have it half tore apart,

Started putting new carb studs in the intake, set up both carbs, and the ONLY way they will fit is with the fuel inlets and throttle assemblies on opposite sides. never seen this before.

Seen sideways mounted, but that's not possible without 2" carb spacers

Something I am not gonna do.

Any suggestions? Looks like I'm gonna need one wild ass throttle linkage for it, or new carbs

Any way to reverse everything on one of these Marine Carbs? I know it used to be done on DP's, but I beleive these are SP's. Still should be able to swap the bowls end for end and get the fuel line on the same side, at least, but what about the throttle shafts?

Gonna be bad ass when it's on tho

It's a Weiand tunnel, and Holley Carbs, Part number (On the carbs), 9015-1, D746.

Any Ideas guys?
